My favorite classic potato salad recipes have lots of extra vegetables added to the potatoes and mayonnaise which make up the base of the salad. This adds extra nutrition and fiber to the dish. I added ground flaxseed to the basic recipe below as well for this reason.
I also like to add some boiled eggs mixed into the dish and a couple sliced up on top for garnish.
Ingredients:
|
3 pounds potatoes |
![]() |
cumin, paprika, celery seed, salt & pepper
Directions:
|
Wash and boil enough potatoes to fill your salad bowl. Rinse cooked potatoes under cold water and let cool. |

Boil the 6 eggs about 10 minutes, rinse under cold water and set aside. Save the last two for garnishing. |

When chopping the vegetables you may want to remove the seeds from the cucumber and cherry tomatoes. I found that with all the other ingredients added to this salad that this really wasn't necessary.
|
Add the chopped vegetables, eggs, flaxseed, spices, salt and pepper. Mix well before adding dressing and add more ingredients if needed. |

Add mayonnaise and mustard and mix well. You may need to add more dressing than the recipe calls for. When desired consistency is reached, transfer to a salad bowl and garnish with the last 2 sliced eggs. |

Garnish with a little paprika if desired and refrigerate before serving.
