📝 Instructions

11 steps

1. Scrub the potatoes clean and place them in a large pot. Fill the pot with enough water to cover the potatoes. Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until a fork inserts easily. Do not overcook.

2. While the potatoes are boiling, place the eggs in a smaller pot and cover them with water. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Drain and place the eggs in an ice water bath to cool.

3. Peel the carrots and dice them into small cubes. Add them to the pot with the potatoes during the last 5 minutes of cooking to slightly soften them. Drain both the potatoes and carrots, and set aside to cool.

4. Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel off the skins and dice them into bite-sized chunks. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.

5. Peel and chop the hard-boiled eggs, and add them to the mixing bowl with the potatoes.

6. Finely dice the sweet onion and add it to the bowl, along with the cooked carrots.

7. In a separate small bowl, prepare the dressing by combining mayonnaise, yellow mustard, sweet pickle relish, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and well combined.

8. Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and gently stir until the ingredients are evenly coated. Be careful not to mash the potatoes while mixing.

9. Chop the green onions and sprinkle them over the salad. Mix lightly to distribute.

10. Transfer the potato salad to a serving dish and sprinkle the top with paprika for garnish.

11. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled and enjoy your Guamanian Island Potato Salad!
