Southern Potato Salad

Start by boiling the cubed potatoes in a large pot of salted water until tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain and let cool.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled potatoes, diced eggs, mayonnaise, mustard, celery, red onion, and chopped pickles. Gently toss until everything is evenly coated.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. For an extra touch of flavor, sprinkle paprika on top.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the potato salad a final stir and adjust seasoning if necessary. Enjoy!
