Peel 5 large russet potatoes and place them in water to prevent browning.
Cut the potatoes into 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch cubes, keeping them submerged in water.
Drain the potatoes and rinse to remove excess starch.
In a 5.5 quart Dutch oven, add the potatoes and cover with cold water, about an inch above the potatoes.
Add 1 tablespoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of Vegeta seasoning to the water.
Cover and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then cook uncovered for about 10 minutes or until fork-tender.
While the potatoes cook, finely chop 1/4 of a large red onion and 1 1/2 ribs of celery, and soak the onion in water to reduce its strong flavor.
Once the potatoes are done, drain them immediately to stop the cooking process and cool them down.
Cool the eggs in water and sprinkle vinegar over the potatoes to prevent browning.
Spread the potatoes on a baking sheet in a thin layer, cover with a kitchen towel, and refrigerate for 30-40 minutes until cool.
In a mixing bowl, combine 1 1/4 cups mayonnaise, 3 tablespoons sweet relish, 1/2 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon yellow mustard, 2 tablespoons sour cream, and 1/2 tablespoon nature seasoning salt.
Drain the onions and add them to the mayonnaise mixture along with the chopped celery.
Adjust seasoning to taste, adding more vinegar if needed, and mix in fresh chives and 2 teaspoons of sugar.
After 35 minutes, peel the cooled eggs and chop them into small pieces.
Mix the chopped eggs into the mayonnaise mixture before adding the cooled potatoes to ensure even distribution.
Gently fold the potatoes into the mixture until well combined.
