1. STEP 1

   

   How to make classic potato salad? Prepare all the products indicated in the recipe. The dressing can be prepared using sour cream, yogurt or mayonnaise. Take pickled or salted cucumbers. The quantity of each component can be adjusted to your taste.

2. STEP 2

   

   Boil potatoes and eggs until tender and cool. Peel the potatoes and shell the eggs.

3. STEP 3

   

   Peel the onion. To brighten the finished salad, I used red onion, but regular onion will do. Rinse celery stalks, greens, and onions and dry with paper towels.

4. STEP 4

   

   Chop the onion and celery into small cubes. Cut the cucumbers into cubes or cubes. For convenience, you can use a vegetable cutter. Place all ingredients in a deep, comfortable bowl.

   Prepare the dressing. Place mayonnaise, mustard, sugar, ground pepper and vinegar in a small bowl. Mix everything thoroughly and let it brew until the sugar is completely dissolved.

6. STEP 6

   

   Cut the potatoes into thin circles or semicircles. Chop the eggs as desired. Can be cut into slices, cubes or like potatoes into semicircles. Place everything in the bowl with the rest of the products.

7. STEP 7

   

   Stir the sauce again and pour into the salad. Rinse the greens, dry and chop finely. What greens are better to take? Dill, young green onions, parsley or garlic are perfect. Add to salad.

8. STEP 8

   

   Mix everything thoroughly, add salt and taste. Add the missing element. I added a little more vinegar. Place the prepared salad in the refrigerator and let it brew for at least an hour.

9. STEP 9

   

   Serve sprinkled with ground pepper and garnished with sprigs of parsley or dill.

I really love potato salads, they are especially good in winter. But even in the summer you want something tasty and satisfying. I prepared the classic potato salad as a side dish for fried fish. To do this, I took new potatoes, boiled them in their skins, and then cut them into slices. Homemade, fresh eggs, also boiled and cut into semicircles. The onion was ordinary, so as not to be bitter, I washed it in cold water and squeezed out excess moisture. I didn’t open the jar of pickles, but decided to chop lightly salted cucumbers into the salad. They are just at that stage when they are no longer quite fresh, but not very salty either. It has a very piquant taste and the crunch is so soulful! I didn’t have celery stalks, but I did have greens, so I added them along with dill and parsley. Excellent fragrant bouquet. And what a rich dressing! So many different tastes and smells. Overall, the salad turned out great! Thanks for the recipe, I recommend it!
