Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Cook the potatoes
Place potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until tender but not mushy, about 10–12 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.

In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, mustard, sweet pickle relish, chopped onion, celery, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth.
Step 3: Combine potatoes and dressing
Gently fold the cooked potatoes and chopped eggs into the dressing until everything is evenly coated. Be careful not to mash the potatoes.
Step 4: Chill and garnish
Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours to let flavors meld. Before serving, sprinkle with paprika for a classic Southern touch.
