Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 1 tablespoon Salt
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 2 medium Celery stalks, diced
- 0.5 cup Red onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup Pickles, chopped
- 3 large Hard-boiled eggs, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash and peel the Yukon Gold potatoes, then cut them into 1-inch cubes.
Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and add enough water to cover them. Add 1 tablespoon of salt to the water.
Bring the water to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes and let them cool to room temperature.
In a large mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, sugar, and black pepper. Mix until well combined to make the dressing.
Add the diced celery, chopped red onion, chopped pickles, and chopped hard-boiled eggs to the dressing. Mix gently to combine.
Once the potatoes have cooled, add them to the bowl with the dressing and vegetables. Toss gently to coat the potatoes evenly.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley and paprika over the salad. Stir gently to incorporate.
Cover the potato salad with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld together.
Serve chilled as a side dish or as part of a picnic spread. Enjoy!
