Instructions
Place potatoes in large pot and cover with cold water by two inches. Heat to boiling over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and cook until potatoes are just tender when pierced with a paring knife. Cooking time will vary based on size of potatoes, but for medium potatoes, start checking after 18 to 20 minutes.
Drain potatoes. Place potatoes on plate and transfer to refrigerator until completely cool (this step can be done up to 1 day in advance).
Meanwhile, in medium bowl, whisk mayonnaise, Thousand Island dressing, mustard, salt and pepper until smooth.
When potatoes are cool, peel and discard potato skins. Chop potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes and place in large bowl.
Add celery, onion and chopped eggs to bowl with potatoes; toss until well combined.
Add mayonnaise mixture to potato mixture and fold gently with a spatula until all potatoes are coated in dressing. Cover and transfer to refrigerator for at least 4 hours and up to 3 days.
Serve potato salad garnished with sliced hard boiled egg and a sprinkle of paprika, if desired.
