Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 cup Elbow macaroni
- 3 large Hard-boiled eggs
- 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon White vinegar
- 2 stalks Celery
- 0.25 medium (finely diced) Red onion
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika

Instructions
Peel and cut the potatoes into bite-sized cubes. Place the potatoes in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 10-12 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain and set aside to cool.
While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the elbow macaroni according to the package instructions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.
Peel and chop the hard-boiled eggs into small pieces. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Whisk until smooth and well blended.
Add the cooled potatoes, macaroni, chopped eggs, celery (chopped into small pieces), and diced red onion to the bowl with the dressing. Gently fold everything together until evenly coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or pepper as desired.
Transfer the salad to a serving dish and sprinkle with fresh parsley and an optional additional dash of paprika for garnish.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
