Ingredients

Directions

  1. Ensure baked potatoes are completely cooled so they are easy to handle without burning your hands.
  2. Slice each baked potato in half lengthwise.
  3. Carefully scoop out the potato flesh from the skins, leaving a 1/4-inch thick shell intact.
  4. Place the reserved potato skins on a baking sheet or plate and set aside.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, mash the scooped potato flesh until mostly smooth but with some texture remaining.
  6. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, chopped celery, green onions, and pickle relish to the mashed potatoes.
  7. Stir gently until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is creamy and uniform.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if desired.
  9. Spoon the potato salad mixture evenly back into the reserved potato skins, mounding it slightly.
  10. Cover the filled skins with plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
  11. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld before serving.
