500g potatoes
3 eggs
3 celery stalks, sliced
1 tbsp mustard seeds
celery salt (optional)
3 tbsp mayonnaise
spring onion, chopped
fresh black pepper
Chop or slice the potatoes to the size you prefer in salads
Boil the potatoes with the eggs until cooked (around 10 minutes but it does depend on the size)
Drain the potatoes and leave to cool
Shell and roughly chop the boiled eggs
Put the drained potatoes into large bowl with the eggs, celery and mayo - toss to coat
Add more mayo if desired, but see how it goes, you can't take it away, I've tried!
Once everything is nearly coated add the spring onion, mustard seeds, celery salt and several cracks of black pepper - mix well
Leave to chill in the fridge until ready to serve
Tips
Use canned, fresh, new, big or small potatoes
Variations
You can serve this right away, but it tastes better if you "let the flavours marry" for at least 30 mins
You can easily make this a day ahead and keep in the fridge
Try chucking some chopped up crispy bacon in too
