For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of chopped fresh dill or parsley. Yukon Gold potatoes are recommended for their creamy texture, but Russet potatoes can be used as well. Adjust cooking time as needed. If you prefer a tangier salad, add a splash of white vinegar or lemon juice to the dressing. Ensure the potatoes are completely cooled before mixing with the other ingredients to prevent the mayonnaise from separating.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large pot, combine the cubed potatoes with salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, approximately 15-20 minutes.
02
StepDrain the potatoes thoroughly and allow them to cool completely. This step is crucial to prevent a soggy salad. (Approximately 30 minutes cooling time)
03
StepWhile the potatoes are cooking, prepare the egg whites. Gently boil the eggs for 12 minutes. Immediately transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, peel the eggs, separate the whites, discard the yolks or reserve them for another culinary adventure, and finely chop the whites. (Approximately 25 minutes)
04
StepIn a large bowl, combine the cooled potatoes, chopped egg whites, celery, red onion, sweet pickle relish, low-fat mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, celery seed, and minced garlic.
05
StepSeason generously with freshly ground black pepper to taste. Gently mix all ingredients until well combined, being careful not to overmix the potatoes.
06
StepCover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to chill completely. (Minimum 120 minutes chilling time)
