Steps:

• The first step towards making your salad is to watch all of your potatoes remove any grass from them and scrub them to be sure there is no dirt remaining. After they have been cleaned, placed them into a pan and cover with water. Boil until your potatoes are soft to the touch.
• In another pan add your eggs and cover with water, boil until they are completely hard-boiled. The process typically takes around 15 minutes for them to fully boil. After your potatoes and eggs are fully boiled, drain the water and refrigerate to chill.
• Once your potatoes and eggs have cooled, remove the shell from your eggs, diced your eggs and potatoes, and place them into a mixing bowl. Next, finely chop your onion, seed and finally chop your green pepper, and finally chopped your celery. Mix all of these together, being careful to not mash or crumble your potatoes.
• Into your potato mixture, add mayonnaise, yellow mustard, and pickle relish. Season with salt and pepper. Stir until your potato mixture is coated in your mayonnaise mixture. Sprinkle the top with celery seed and paprika. Cover and refrigerate until you are ready to serve. When you are ready, remove your potato salad from the refrigerator, serve and enjoy.
