Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon White vinegar
- 2 medium Celery stalks
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Rinse and scrub 2 pounds of Yukon Gold potatoes, then cut them into bite-sized chunks of equal size to ensure even cooking.
Place the potato chunks into a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the pot.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer, and cook the potatoes for about 10-15 minutes or until they are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, finely dice 2 celery stalks and half a medium red onion. Chop 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 0.5 cup of mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon of white vinegar, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper to create the dressing.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and let them cool slightly for 10 minutes. Transfer the warm potatoes to a large mixing bowl.
Gently toss the potatoes with the dressing, making sure they are evenly coated. Add the diced celery, red onion, and parsley, and fold them into the salad.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
