1

Wash the potatoes and peel them using a small paring knife.

Cut the potatoes into cubes, ensuring they are not too big or too small, and place them in a bowl of water.

3

Rinse the potatoes several times until the water runs clean.

4

Fill a pot with cold water enough to cover the potatoes and add the diced potatoes to the cold water.

5

Add 2 chicken bouillon cubes and a little salt to the water.

6

Boil the eggs in a separate pot with enough water to cover them, heavily salting the water.

7

Boil 5-6 eggs on high until the water reaches a raging boil, then turn off the heat and cover the pot, letting the eggs sit for 15 minutes.

8

After 15 minutes, run cold water over the eggs to cool them down and peel them once cooled.

9

Chop the boiled eggs, a small onion, celery, and bell pepper for the salad.

10

In a bowl, mix together Duke's mayonnaise, spicy brown mustard, sweet relish, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and sugar to taste.

11

Add the chopped veggies and eggs to the mixture and adjust the seasoning as needed.

12

Gently fold in the cooled, cubed potatoes into the mixture without mashing them.

Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary before serving.
