1

Boil the eggs until hard boiled, about 10 minutes.

2

Boil the potatoes either in the Instant Pot or over the stove in a pot or in a pressure cooker.

3

As the eggs cook, prepare an ice water bath. When the eggs have finished cooking, transfer the eggs into the ice water bath.

4

As the eggs cool down, peel the potatoes. Then, peel the eggs, as they should have been completely cooled down by now.

5

Finely chop the red onions, the green onions and the chives. Then, chop the eggs and potatoes.

6

Grab a large bowl and add the eggs, potatoes, green and red onions. Season with celery salt or chop whole celery if desired.

7

Season with salt and pepper, and add sour cream, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and a splash of rice vinegar. Using a spatula or spoon, mix well to combine everything thoroughly.

8

Add the salad in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or serve right immediately!
