Ingredients

5 lbs russet potatoes
5 eggs
1.5 cups mayonnaise (e.g., Hellman's®)
2 tbsp yellow mustard (e.g., French's®)
25 pimento-stuffed green olives, sliced
7 sweet gherkins, chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
1 pinch salt to taste
1 green bell pepper, sliced

Directions

1

Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes.

2

Drain potatoes; steam dry 1 to 2 minutes. Cool, then peel and cut into cubes.

3

Place eggs in a saucepan in a single layer; cover with water by 1 inch. Cover the saucepan; bring to a boil over high heat, then remove from heat, and let eggs stand in hot water for 15 minutes.

4

Remove eggs from hot water, cool eggs under cold running water. Peel and slice. Reserve 1 attractive slice for garnish.

5

Combine mayonnaise and mustard in a bowl. Combine potatoes, eggs, olives, gherkins, celery, and onion in a separate large bowl. Add mayonnaise dressing; gently toss until ingredients coated. Season with salt.

6

Top salad with bell pepper slices and reserved egg slice in the center. Chill until ready to serve.
