Equipment
- Box Grater
Ingredients
- 5 red potatoes about 1½ pounds
- 5 eggs
- ½ small sweet onion, diced or more to taste
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 heaping tablespoons yellow mustard two big squirts
- 2 tablespoons sugar or more to taste
- Kosher salt and pepper
Instructions
- Simmer whole potatoes in salted water until tender, about 20-30 minutes, and cook eggs using preferred method for hard boiled. Drain and set aside to cool.
- Whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard and sugar until sugar is dissolved. Set aside.
- Peel potatoes and eggs. Slice thinly using box grater over large bowl, alternating potatoes and eggs (slice a potato then slice an egg until everything is sliced). Season with salt and pepper and add diced onions to bowl.
- Add dressing mixture to potatoes and eggs and mix gently until well combined. Refrigerate several hours or overnight for best flavor!
Notes
- To make more, for every potato used, use the same amount of eggs.
- One side of the box grater is for slicing, it has the largest slits.
- To hard boil the eggs in an Instant Pot, place 1 cup water in insert and wire basket. Add eggs and set for 5 minutes under high pressure. Naturally release for 5 minutes, open and remove eggs to ice water bath for 5 minutes. They are ready to go and peel so easily!
- You can use Miracle Whip instead of mayonnaise, it will be sweeter so adjust the sugar amount if needed.
