Start off by chopping peeling, and cleaning your potatoes, if you want to keep the skin on, just be sure to give them an extra good wash.
Add them to a pot with low-sodium chicken broth and chicken bouillon for added flavor and sodium.
While the potatoes are cooking, dice your veggies. Today we are using celery and shallot.
Next, combine all wet ingredients and then fold in your veggies. Season to taste. A pinch of sugar is encouraged to balance flavors but if you’re totally against anything sweet in your potato salad then you can skip it.
Dice your boiled eggs and add those to your dressing.
Next, fold in the potatoes and mix to combine - ensuring everything is evenly distributed.
Give it one final taste test and plate it up with some dice chives and paprika or old bay on top.
