Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs baby potatoes (Yukon Gold or red-skinned)
- 4 large hard-boiled eggs, chopped
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 2 stalks celery, finely diced
- 0.5 cup red onion, finely diced
- 0.5 cup sweet pickles, chopped
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.75 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 cup grated cheddar cheese (optional)
Instructions
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized pieces.
Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover them with cold water, and add a pinch of salt.
Bring the pot to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes and transfer them to a large mixing bowl to cool slightly.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Once the potatoes have cooled slightly, gently toss them with the dressing until evenly coated.
Fold in the chopped hard-boiled eggs, crumbled bacon, celery, red onion, sweet pickles, and parsley.
If desired, stir in the grated cheddar cheese for an extra indulgent touch.
Cover the potato salad and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Stir the salad before serving and garnish with additional parsley or paprika, if desired.
