Instructions:

1. Boil the Potatoes

Peel and cut potatoes into bite-sized chunks. Boil in salted water until fork-tender (about 10–12 minutes). Drain and let cool.

2. Make the Dressing

In a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper.

3. Combine Everything

Gently fold the cooled potatoes, chopped eggs, celery, onion, and relish into the dressing. Mix until coated but don’t mash the potatoes.

4. Chill

Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (even better overnight) to let the flavors meld.

5. Serve

Sprinkle with paprika just before serving for that nostalgic look.
