directions

Step 1

In a small bowl soak the onions in cold water, for 15 minutes. Drain.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan cover the potatoes with cold water by about 2 inches. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the salt. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer until fork tender, about 6 minutes. Drain, transfer potatoes to a large bowl, and mix with the onions and celery. Set aside to cool.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 teaspoon salt, mayonnaise, parsley, relish, and mustard.

Step 4

When the potatoes have cooled, carefully fold them with the mayonnaise mixture. Gently mix in the eggs and season with pepper to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve.
