I am Puertorican and this is not how we do the potato salad we don’t use mustard or peas or celery on our potato salad. That’s an American way also the cilantro is only to plate it not on the actual recipe because it will turn the salad green. The correct recipe call for is potato, eggs, apples, onions, green pepper, pimento morron mayonnaise salt and pepper to taste and some people will add cooked ham like Serrano. It also depends on the area of the island you live or are at.
