This easy Classic Potato Salad is loaded with baby potatoes, eggs, vinegar, and fresh chives tossed in a creamy dressing. This version of potato salad is super easy with just 5 ingredients, plus salt and pepper to taste, and 7 simple steps. It's ready in just 30 minutes.
Wash the baby potatoes, then cut them in half or quarters on a cutting board.
Chop the fresh chives.
Place potatoes and eggs in a large saucepan of cold, salted water and bring to a boil on high heat. Boil for 10 minutes, then use a slotted spoon to remove just the eggs. Let the potatoes continue to cook for 5–10 minutes or until fork tender.
Run the boiled eggs under cold water. Once they are cool enough to handle, peel and chop.
When the potatoes are done, drain in a colander and run under cold water then drain again. Set aside to continue cooling for about 5 minutes.
At the same time, in a large mixing bowl, use a whisk to mix together the mayonnaise and white vinegar.
Add the cooled potatoes, chopped eggs, and half of the chopped chives. Add the seasoned salt and pepper to your personal preference, and gently fold together with a silicone baking spatula. Garnish with the remaining chopped chives and serve.
Notes
Baby potatoes are small and don’t need to be peeled.
Store leftover potato salad in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days.
