Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g baby potatoes
- 4 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp mustard
- 1 tsp white vinegar
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 celery stalk, finely diced
- 0.25 red onion, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 boiled eggs, chopped
Instructions
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and place them in a microwave-safe bowl. Add 1/4 cup of water to the bowl and cover it loosely with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap, leaving a small vent.
Microwave the potatoes on high for 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are fork-tender. Cooking time may vary depending on the power of your microwave and the size of the potatoes.
Once cooked, carefully drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly. If desired, you can cut the potatoes into halves or quarters for smaller, bite-sized pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, white vinegar, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Add the cooled potatoes to the bowl with the dressing. Gently toss to coat the potatoes evenly in the mixture.
Fold in the celery, red onion, boiled eggs, and chopped parsley, being careful not to mash the potatoes.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed with more salt or pepper.
Cover and refrigerate the potato salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled and enjoy!
