Ingredients
  

  • 1-1 1/4 cup Jimmy's Creamy Coleslaw Dressing
  • 6 medium russet potatoes boiled, cooled, and cubed
  • 3/4 cup chopped green onions white and light green parts
  • 2 stalks of celery finely diced
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onion tops for garnish
  • 1-2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 3-5 hard-boiled eggs peeled and roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped dill pickles
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Smoked paprika for sprinkling

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. Start by boiling your russet potatoes. Cut them into quarters to help them cook evenly. Boil them in salted water until fork-tender, which usually takes about 15-20 minutes. Don’t overcook them—no one wants mushy potatoes!
  2. Once your potatoes are cooked, drain them and let them cool completely. Once cooled, chop them into bite-sized cubes. Aim for uniform pieces for even distribution in the salad.
  3. In a bowl, combine the Jimmy's Creamy Coleslaw Dressing, Dijon mustard, and a generous helping of salt and pepper. This dressing will be the star of your salad, so feel free to taste and adjust the seasoning.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, toss the diced potatoes with the chopped green onions, diced celery, hard-boiled eggs, and dill pickles. Pour the dressing over the ingredients and gently mix everything together, being careful not to mash the potatoes.
  5. Cover your salad and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour ready to allow the flavors to meld together. Before serving, sprinkle smoked paprika and the reserved green onion tops for a burst of color.

Notes

  • Use Fresh Potatoes: Fresh, unblemished potatoes will give the best taste.
  • Adjust the Dressing to Taste: Don’t hesitate to tweak the amount of coleslaw dressing based on your preference. Some like it creamier!
  • Don’t Skip the Chill Time: Allowing the salad to sit will help all the ingredients bond together beautifully.
  • Hard-Boiled Eggs: Make sure to chop the eggs roughly, ensuring you still get those delightful chunks in each serving.
  • Storage Tips: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days in the fridge.
