Instructions:

Boil the Potatoes: Begin by cooking the potatoes in a pot of boiling water for approximately 40 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Once cooked, drain the potatoes and allow them to cool.

Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked potatoes, chopped egg whites, and half a teaspoon of salt. Add the sliced green onions to the bowl and gently stir to combine.

Prepare the Dressing: In a separate small bowl, mash the egg yolks with a fork. To the mashed yolks, add the remaining half teaspoon of salt, mayonnaise, prepared mustard, pepper, and celery seed. Mix everything together until well blended.
-
Combine Dressing with Potatoes: Carefully fold the yolk mixture into the potato mixture, ensuring that all ingredients are evenly coated. Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper according to your preference.
-
Chill and Serve: Cover the potato salad and refrigerate it for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together. For even better results, refrigerate overnight and serve the next day for maximum flavor.
