Steps

  • Start by peeling the potatoes and cutting them into uniform 3/4-inch chunks.
  • Place the cut potatoes in a 4-quart saucepot and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil, then simmer for about 10 minutes, or until tender.
  • Once the potatoes are tender, drain them and set aside to cool slightly.
  • In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of Hellmann’s mayonnaise with 2 tablespoons of vinegar, 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of ground black pepper. Whisk until smooth.
  • Add the slightly cooled potatoes, 1 cup of thinly sliced celery, and 1/2 cup of chopped onion to the dressing. Gently toss to coat.
  • Carefully fold in 2 chopped hard-cooked eggs.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour before serving.
  • When ready to serve, give the salad a gentle stir.
