Ingredients

  • 5 pounds Russet Potatoes
  • 1 large Onion finely diced
  • 3 Eggs hard boiled
  • 3/4 cup Hellman's Mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon White Vinegar
  • Paprika optional, garnish
  • 1/4-1/2 cup Optional Add-Ins chopped bacon bits, diced jalapeño peppers, green onions, shredded cheese, celery

Instructions

  • Wash potatoes throughly and then place in large pot. Add water to cover and place over medium heat. Bring water to a rapid simmer and continue simmering until potatoes are just fork tender. Large potatoes will take about 20 minutes until the center is tender.
  • Once potatoes are done, drain water and allow to cool for a little until they're cool enough to touch. Remove peels and then roughly chop cooked potatoes into 1" cubes.
  • In a large bowl, add mayonnaise, sugar, salt and vinegar and stir to combine. Add diced potatoes and diced onions. Stir until well combined.
  • Gently fold boiled eggs and optional add-ins into the mixture.
  • Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
