Make the classic, discontinued Chick-fil-A Potato Salad at home with this simple copycat recipe featuring a sweet and savory mustard dressing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 lbs Russet potatoes, peeled and quartered
  • 4 large eggs, hard-boiled and chopped
  • 1 cup celery, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup sweet pickle relish
  • 1/4 cup white onion, finely minced
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Place the peeled and quartered potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold, salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  2. Drain the potatoes immediately and let them cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, dice the potatoes into bite-sized pieces, leaving some texture. Place the diced potatoes in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Add the chopped hard-boiled eggs, celery, sweet pickle relish, and minced white onion to the bowl with the potatoes.
  4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, yellow mustard, white vinegar, salt, pepper, and granulated sugar until smooth. This is your dressing.
  5. Pour the dressing over the potato mixture. Gently fold all ingredients together until everything is evenly coated. Be careful not to overmix, which can make the potatoes mushy.
  6. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
  7. Taste before serving and adjust salt or sugar if necessary.

Notes

  • For the best texture, do not overcook the potatoes; they should hold their shape after dicing.
  • The sweetness comes primarily from the granulated sugar and sweet pickle relish, so do not substitute the relish.
  • Use high-quality mayonnaise for the creamiest result.
