Got a bunch of sprouting potatoes and enough eggs to feed a village? Then it’s time to whip up a batch of homemade potato salad! This quick and easy potato salad with eggs is ridiculously delicious—and I wish I could take credit for it.My cousin actually made it for me and my boys during a summer visit to her farm, and the moment I took a bite, I said, “I need this recipe!”

I’d never had potato salad with radishes and cucumbers before—it was a total game-changer. She called it Cowboy Potato Salad (um, OK), and said people go crazy for it. No kidding! It’s the perfect side dish for the 4th of July, a backyard BBQ, or any summer gathering.

Step-Saving Potato Salad Shortcut

What makes this recipe so simple? You boil the potatoes and the eggs together—genius, right? The whole dish comes together in under 30 minutes. Plus, it’s a great way to use up produce that’s on the brink. Got cherry tomatoes? Toss them in. Baby carrots? Shred and add. It’s flexible, fresh, and full of flavor. Just don’t skimp on the Hellmann’s!
