Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Place the 6 eggs in a pot, cover with water, bring to a boil, then simmer for 9 minutes. Drain and cool under cold water.

  2. Step 2

    Peel and dice the 2 potatoes into 1/2 inch cubes. Boil in salted water until fork-tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.

  3. Step 3

    Peel the eggs and chop them coarsely. In a large bowl, combine the eggs, potatoes, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1 tbsp mustard, and 1/2 tsp salt.

  4. Step 4

    Slice the 3 green onions thinly and fold into the salad. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
