Instructions

  1. Step 1: Place 5 pounds peeled and cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water; add 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium and simmer for 15-20 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender but not falling apart. Drain and let cool.
  2. Step 2: While potatoes cook, place 6 large eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then cover and remove from heat; let eggs stand for 12 minutes. Drain, cool under cold running water, peel, and chop coarsely.
  3. Step 3: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled potatoes, chopped eggs, and 1 cup chopped yellow onion.
  4. Step 4: In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups mayonnaise, 1/4 cup prepared mustard, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and additional salt to taste.
  5. Step 5: Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and gently fold until all ingredients are evenly coated. Chill in refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to develop.
