PERFECT POTATO SALAD
This is my mother Pauline's recipe. It's pretty much a classic American salad but remember, if you add onions, use sweet onions and chop with a very sharp knife, allow potatoes to cool to room temp before dressing them, and always taste for salt.

Steps:
- Place whole potatoes in a pot with 1/4 cup kosher salt. Cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until tender, about 40 minutes (depending on size). Transfer cooked potatoes to a plate. Allow them to cool to room temperature.
- When potatoes are completely cooled, peel off the skin. Cut into larger than bite-size pieces as the pieces will break down slightly when you toss with the dressing. Transfer potato pieces to a mixing bowl. Add celery, onions, parsley, chopped hard-boiled eggs. Combine ingredients, breaking up larger pieces of potato.
- Place mayonnaise in mixing bowl. Add cider vinegar, mustard, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Whisk until well combined.
- Pour mayonnaise mixture onto potatoes; stir until well combined. Cover and refrigerate until completely chilled, 2 to 3 hours. Taste for seasonings and texture. Salad may need a bit more salt and another spoonful of mayonnaise.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe sweet potatoes.
- Scrub the sweet potatoes well before boiling them to remove any dirt or debris.
- To prevent the sweet potatoes from becoming too mushy, boil them until they are just tender-crisp. You can check this by piercing them with a fork - they should be easy to pierce, but still have a slight resistance.
- While the sweet potatoes are boiling, hard-boil the eggs. To do this, place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10-12 minutes. Remove the eggs from the heat and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Once the sweet potatoes and eggs are cool, peel and chop them into bite-sized pieces.
- In a large bowl, combine the sweet potatoes, eggs, celery, onion, and parsley.
- For the dressing, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Pour the dressing over the sweet potato mixture and stir to combine.
- Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later.
Conclusion:
This sweet potato salad is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a new side dish to try, give this sweet potato salad a try!
