1tablespoondistilled vinegar
1/2teaspoonsalt

2hard boiled eggs
1/2cupcelerychopped
1/4cupminced onion
2green onions diced
Instructions
Place potatoes in a large pot of liberally salted water (I used 2 tablespoons). Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and cook until potatoes are fork tender. Transfer to a colander and drain.
Place potatoes in a large bowl and use a potato masher to gently mash the potatoes. Leave them a bit chunky.
Whisk together mayonnaise, mustard, granulated garlic, vinegar, sweet relish, salt and pepper.
Add celery, yellow onions, green onions and hard boiled eggs to a bowl. Pour dressing over the top. Gently mix. Cover and chill for 1 hour.
After the flavors have had a chance to meld, adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Serve.
Notes
Like many dishes, I find that this tastes better the longer the flavors have to mingle. If you are planning an afternoon BBQ, make this salad that morning. It'll be perfect!Nutrition information for estimation purposes only.
