📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Peel the potatoes, if desired, and cut them into 1-inch cubes.

2. Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.

3. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer the potatoes for 10-15 minutes, or until they are tender but not falling apart.

4. While the potatoes cook, prepare the dressing by combining the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt in a large mixing bowl. Whisk until smooth.

5. Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and let them cool for 10-15 minutes.

6. Add the cooled potatoes to the dressing and gently toss to coat.

7. Stir in the celery, red onion, pickle relish, and chopped eggs. Mix until well combined.

8. Season the salad with black pepper to taste, and sprinkle fresh parsley on top if using.

9. Cover and chill the potato salad in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

10. Serve cold and enjoy your All-American Potato Salad!
