- Add the cubed potatoes, diced celery, diced red onion, and hard-boiled eggs to the bowl. If you’re feeling adventurous, toss in the sweet pickles for a hint of sweetness!
- Gently mix everything together until the potatoes are well coated with the dressing and all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the potato salad for at least 1 hour before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Before serving, give it a gentle stir and adjust seasoning if necessary. Enjoy your delightful Grandma’s Potato Salad!
