Ingredients
Scale

- 1 tbsp yellow mustard
- 1 tsp sugar
- Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions
- Place cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Cook until potatoes are tender but firm, about 10–15 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.

- Fold in chopped hard-boiled eggs, celery, and onion until evenly distributed.
- Chill the potato salad in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve cold.
