Ingredients:
- 10 medium Yukon Gold potatoes (about 3 lb.)
- 1 cup plus 2 Tbsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ cup plus 2 Tbsp. Morton kosher salt
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup sweet relish
- 3 Tbsp. yellow mustard
- 2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
- 1 medium red bell pepper, ribs and seeds removed, cut into ¼" pieces
- ½ medium red onion, cut into ¼" pieces
- 2 celery stalks, sliced ¼" thick
- Barbecue Seasoning or paprika (for serving)
Instructions:
- Place potatoes, 1 cup of Diamond Crystal salt or ½ cup plus 1 tablespoon of Morton kosher salt, and 3 quarts of water in a medium-sized pot. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until the potatoes are tender, which usually takes about 18 to 22 minutes.
- While the potatoes are cooking, carefully place the eggs using a slotted spoon into a large saucepan of boiling water. Let them cook for 10 minutes, adjusting the heat as necessary to keep a gentle boil. Then, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water and allow them to cool until they are just slightly warm, approximately 2 minutes.
- Take the eggs out of the ice water, crack them gently all over, and remove the shells. Cut the eggs in half lengthwise, scoop out the yolks into a medium bowl, and roughly chop the egg whites. Mash the yolks with a fork until smooth, then mix in mayonnaise, relish, both types of mustard, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of Diamond Crystal salt or 1 tablespoon of Morton kosher salt. Stir in the bell pepper, red onion, and celery into the dressing.
- Once the potatoes are ready, drain them and let them cool for about 5 minutes. Peel the potatoes with a paring knife and cut them into ½-inch pieces. Add the potatoes to the dressing and gently mix together. Fold in the reserved egg whites. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or you can store it for up to 3 days.
- Before serving, sprinkle some seasoning over the dish.
