Rachel from "Rachel Cooks with Love" shares her recipe for potato salad. She starts by peeling and chopping 5 russet potatoes, then soaking them in water to prevent browning. The potatoes are boiled in cold water for 11 minutes with a tablespoon of salt, then drained and rinsed with cold water to remove excess starch.
While the potatoes cool, Rachel hard-boils 4 eggs, then peels and chops them. She prepares a dressing with mayonnaise, sweet relish, dill relish, mustard, sugar, salt, and pepper. The cooled potatoes are then mixed with the dressing, and chopped chives are added as a garnish. The salad is refrigerated to allow the flavors to meld together, and Rachel notes that it tastes even better after some time.
