CLASSIC POTATO SALAD
The recipe for this Southern classic came from the chef Millie Peartree's mother, Millie Bell. The sweet relish melds with the creamy potatoes for a deep, balanced flavor. Onion powder adds savory notes without the texture of diced onion, which could overpower the dish. Make sure that your eggs are rinsed thoroughly, so no pieces of shell remain, and that your potatoes are uniformly cut in roughly 1-inch cubes so they all finish cooking at the same time. (Millie Bell used her thumb as a measure.) And, most important of all, don't overcook the potatoes: You want potato salad, not mashed potatoes.

Steps:
- Set the potatoes in a large pot; add 1 tablespoon salt and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Set over high heat and cook just until fork-tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. (You still want the potatoes to still have some shape to avoid turning the dish into mashed potatoes.) Drain potatoes, and set them aside to cool.
- As potatoes cool, make the dressing: To a large bowl, add mayonnaise, relish, mustard and granulated onion; whisk to combine.
- Add the potatoes to the dressing, along with the diced hard-boiled eggs, and celery, if using; stir gently to combine. Taste and season with salt and black pepper as needed.
- Chill for at least 2 hours, and up to overnight. Serve cold. Finish with a sprinkle of paprika. Potato salad will keep for 4 days in an airtight container.
BEST CLASSIC POTATO SALAD
Creamy, tangy, and crunchy, with a hint of spice and sweetness from pickles, this reminds me of my grandmother's potato salad served every Easter or any time we had barbecue. She always dotted it with olives for a finishing touch and a perfect briny addition. This is the best classic version of good old-fashioned, Southern-style potato salad. Not too mayonaissey with just the right amount of tang! Serve with grilled or smoked meats as the perfect side dish.

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as red potatoes or Yukon Golds, hold their shape better than starchy potatoes, such as russets, and are less likely to fall apart when cooked.
- Cook the potatoes just until they are tender: Overcooked potatoes will be mushy and fall apart.
- Use a light hand when mixing the potato salad: Overmixing will break up the potatoes and make the salad mushy.
- Chill the potato salad before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and the salad will be more refreshing.
- Add your favorite mix-ins: Some popular mix-ins for potato salad include celery, hard-boiled eggs, bacon, and cheese.
- Taste the potato salad before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed: You may want to add more salt, pepper, or mayonnaise.
