Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into bite-sized cubes. Boil in salted water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool.

  2. 2

    Chop Vegetables and Eggs

    While the potatoes are cooling, chop the onion, celery, and pimentos. Peel and chop the hard-boiled eggs.

  3. 3

    Make the Dressing

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cooled potatoes, chopped vegetables, and eggs to the dressing. Stir gently until everything is well coated.

  5. 5

    Chill and Serve

    Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together.
