Old Fashioned Potato Salad that tastes just like your grandma made it! Our Quick and easy Potato Salad with Eggs Recipe is a great summer side dish for parties!
My mini chef loves helping in the kitchen, especially when it comes to our faves! She eagerly helps to mix, chop, cook whatever!
When we use this recipe, we typically add eggs, but if you want more of a traditional potato salad you could leave the eggs out. Another great addition I like to add in sometimes is celery that’s chopped finely.
For chopping, we bought our mini chef these curious chef knives. They’re AWESOME! She can’t cut herself with them at all. These are our favorite kid safe chef knives, BUT we use them too! I love using them to chop up leafy greens, especially when I want shredded lettuce for tacos.When we’re making this, I have to make extra hard boiled eggs for Kay to snack on. She loves hard boiled eggs, especially the yolks, that’s her favorite part!
This is a great side dish recipe to bring to potlucks, summer parties, BBQs, or even birthday parties! We love serving it to our family and friends.
If you want to pack it with more flavor you can also add in some bacon! We make a delicious potato salad with bacon, seriously the best potato salad recipe has to have bacon right? Haha! We always make a red potato salad, but you can also use other potatoes.
We just like to have some more color in our salad whenever possible. 🙂
enjoy this tasty potato salad with eggs recipe! 🙂
Potato Salad with Eggs Recipe
Old Fashioned Potato Salad that tastes just like your grandma made it! Our Quick and easy Potato Salad with Eggs Recipe is a great summer side dish!
Ingredients
- 4 Red Medium Red Potatoes
- Pinch of Sea Salt
- 3 Eggs
- 2 Tablespoons Vinegar
- 1/4 Cup Scallions
- 1/4 Teaspoon Celery Seed
- 1/8 Teaspoon Pepper
- 2-3 Tablespoons Mayonnaise

Instructions
- Chop the potatoes into bite size cubes. Place potatoes in a pot with cold water about 2-3 inches above the potatoes, and sprinkle with a little sea salt. Place on medium heat.
- Boil for about 10 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Not soft enough for mashing.
Now for the eggs - cover the eggs in a saucepan with cold water, pour in about 2 tablespoons of vinegar into it.
- Once the eggs start to boil, take them off the heat and keep covered for 15 minutes. Once they’re done, peel and chop them into bite size chunks.
- Wash, dry, and slice your scallions.
- Add the eggs, scallions, celery seed, pepper, mayonnaise, and vinegar to the potatoes in a large bowl.
- Mix together and top with some greens of the scallions and paprika.

Hi,
Question about the potato salad, you said you use red potatoes for color, so I take it you do not peal the potatoes? Also does this have enough flavoring, can I add pickles to it? Gotta have pickles in there, and lots of flavor.
Thank you,
Lori
Yup, we don’t remove the skin. 🙂 It gives the salad a little color and you get the vitamins and nutrients instead of the garbage can getting it. 😀 You can absolutely add pickles! We serve them on the side.
