Legendary American Potato Salad

Usually we buy it ready-made in the store or eat it at a party - and I don't really like it, but for the first time we made our own - and I liked it! For 2 days in a row, guests were fed them - everyone ate and praised them!
In general, there are a lot of variations of this salad (as they say, every housewife has her own!), And the only thing that unites them all is potatoes!
Our recipe looks like this.:
- 7 medium potatoes
- 3 eggs
- 2 celery
- 1 / 3 bulb bulb
- 100 gr. mayonnaise
- 1 Art. l yellow mustard
- 1 Art. l vinegar (white or cider - “white” or apple) - we used white
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Paprika (spice) - slightly.
Peel and boil potatoes until ready. Cut into cubes of medium size (it was difficult for me to do this, because, out of habit, I crumble everything finely).
Cook hard boiled eggs. After cooling chop.
- Wash celery and finely chop it up.
- Finely chop onion.
- While all these “comrades” are getting ready to become a part of our salad, we make a dressing - we mix mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper - in a glass or plastic container so that they do not react with it.
- Stir the vegetables, pour in the dressing, lightly sprinkle with paprika - and mix everything again. If it's a little dry, add more mayonnaise.
- Serve chilled.
As I said, there are several variations of potato salad, for example:
▪️Instead of onions - green;
▪️Instead of celery - pickled cucumber;
▪️ You can add a boiled carrot.
Bon appetit!
The Americans did not like our "Olivier" here when I once made it for them. As my husband said: too many different ingredients with completely different tastes; it is not clear what kind of mixture of everything in a row. But everyone here eats potato salad without exception!
