My Love for Potato Salad
I love potato salad so much. I mean we already have a potato salad recipe on the blog (find it here) but the more the merrier! It combines some of my favorite ingredients – potatoes, hard boiled eggs, mayo, and mustard. I mean, what isn’t good there? Well, unless you are The Beard – then you would say all of those are terrible.
Hey, more potato salad for me.
Now, regular ol’ potato salad is great and all. But, we took this recipe up a notch by 1) using red skinned potatoes and 2) grilling those taters up! The rest of the dish is pretty straightforward and pretty delicious.

I promise you won’t be disappointed with this super simple and delicious potato salad. My only suggestion is keep it chilled until right before you want to eat it. Okay, and maybe serve it with a burger like this one.

Red Skinned Potato Salad
Ingredients
Method
- Start grill. Rinse potatoes, do not peel. Pat dry then season with salt and pepper. Place on prepared grill and cook for 20-25 minutes, until desired doneness.
- While potatoes are cooking, prepare your hard boiled eggs, if needed. My favorite way to boil eggs is place the eggs in a pot with cold water + 1 T of white vinegar. Bring to a boil, cover and turn off heat then leave in covered pot for 12 minutes. Once cooked, strain, place in bowl in fridge to cool until ready to add with potatoes.
- Once potatoes are finished cooking, let cool in fridge until a little below room temperature. Once cool enough, remove from fridge and cut potatoes into quarters. Place quartered potatoes in large bowl.
- Roughly chop hard boiled eggs and add to potatoes. I like my egg pieces a little big, but you can chop them as small as you'd like.
- Add mayo, sugar, mustard, salt and pepper to potato/egg mixture. Stir together until fully combined – about 2-3 minutes to really make sure the salt and mustard are evenly distributed. Place in fridge until ready to serve.
- When ready to serve, sprinkle freshly chopped chives on top and enjoy immediately!
This sounds delicious and I actually have all of the ingredients to make it! Definitely going on our weekend menu.
I am totally loving the idea of grilling the potatoes before making the salad. Genius.
It adds a super good flavor!

Can never have too many potato salad recipes and I love the inclusion of mustard in yours.
Agreed!! And thanks – it adds a nice little tang 🙂
Game changer! I just picked up a chive plant,, hopefully I can keep it alive long enough to make this 🙂
Hahah I bought one that was already sprouted so here’s hoping yours stays alive too 🙂
Sounds simple and delicious! The perfect summer side.
Totally! Hope you get to make it 🙂
I”ve never had hard boiled eggs in potato salad before (is that weird??) but I really want to try it because this sounds amazing!
Not weird at all! I love them in it because it’s an excuse to eat more hard boiled eggs 😆 try it out and let me know what you think!
