When it comes to eating salads, adding eggs is a great way to keep your diet goals in check. This egg potato salad is super easy to make and can be made anytime you’re craving something guilt-free.

Ingredients

2 pounds of Yukon potatoes 2 ½ tbsp kosher salt 3 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and diced ¼ cup sweet pickle relish ¼ cup scallions, thinly sliced 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped ½ cup mayonnaise 1 tbsp Dijon mustard 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar Freshly ground black pepper, as needed

Step 1

In a large saucepan, add  Yukon potatoes with 2 tablespoons of kosher salt. Add enough cold water to cover the potatoes by approximately an inch.

Step 2

Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to a slow simmer and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork tender.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine diced large hard-boiled eggs,  sweet pickle relish, scallions, fresh parsley, and kosher salt.

Step 4

Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar or rice vinegar. Stir to mix. Drain the potatoes thoroughly in a colander before transferring to a rimmed baking sheet.

Step 5

Spread into a single layer, then sprinkle the remaining vinegar evenly over the potatoes. Allow it to cool to room temperature for approximately 15 minutes.

Step 6

Fold the potatoes into the dressing until well combined. Season with additional kosher salt and black pepper as required. Cover and chill for at least an hour, or up to a day, before serving.
