Equipment
Ingredients
- 5 pounds red potatoes
- Kosher salt to taste
- ⅓ cup sweet pickle relish
- ¼ cup prepared yellow mustard
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika plus more for garnish. Regular paprika is great too.
- 6 large eggs hard-boiled, chopped
- 2 tablespoons red onion diced
- 2 tablespoons green bell pepper diced
- 1 ½ cups mayonnaise you might need more
- ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook the potatoes in a heavily-salted pot of gently boiling water until tender.
- Drain and let cool enough to handle then cut into 1/2" cubes.
- In a large bowl, combine the relish, mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, eggs, onion, bell pepper, 1 1/2 cups of mayonnaise and salt and pepper, to taste. If the mixture is too dry add more mayonnaise and stir.
- Add the potatoes and stir gently to coat.
- Serve sprinkled with additional paprika.
Notes
I prefer to steam my potatoes so the skins stay intact.
