This delicious Potato salad includes hard boiled eggs, crunchy celery, onion, and flavor that is sure to be the hit of any gathering!
A few summers back, I went to a BBQ at my aunts house. This potato salad was brought by my cousins wife, Rachel. Both my hubby and I devoured it, and decided, we needed that recipe! It was one of the best potato salads we had ever had!! Well, I just now got around to making it and it turned out just as delicious as I remembered.
The crunch from the celery was my favorite part, but the flavor was incredible and this dish quickly became my go to potato salad.
Now, each time I make it for a get together, everyone raves over it and asks for the recipe! Look no further because here it is (video above as well)!
Enjoy and a special thanks to Rachel (check her fabulous blog out too)!

May 30, 2016 at 9:37 amI use Clausen pickles chopped and add some pickle juice to the hot potatoes. Onion powder, granulated garlic and some dill and chopped hard boiled eggs. Like to serve it room temperature right after I make it.

April 7, 2019 at 2:38 pmMy brother hated textures in food so my mother faked him out, using onion powder and celery salt. This is similar to her recipe, am going to try the vinegar suggestion (or pickle juice or pickled jalapeno juice). BTW to make more for a crowd, my mom’s ratio was one potato (small, not the huge bakers) and one egg per person. She also put dried parsley in it. Looking forward to trying yours!

April 7, 2019 at 6:12 pmHope this one is a hit with you all!!

April 13, 2019 at 8:21 amHi I’m just wondering why the video says 1/2 tsp of salt and the written recipe says 1 tsp of salt ?
Thank you
Diana

April 14, 2019 at 7:35 amHi! Good catch! I originally changed it to decrease the pepper, but forgot to change the written part. Thanks! Will change now!
