Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 3 stalks Celery
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
- 0.75 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
- 3 large Hard-boiled eggs
Instructions
Wash and scrub the Yukon Gold potatoes to remove dirt. Cut them into evenly sized chunks (about 1-1.5 inches each) for uniform cooking.
Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add 2 teaspoons of salt to the water. Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for 10-15 minutes or until they're fork-tender but not falling apart.
While the potatoes cook, dice the celery and finely chop the red onion and parsley. Peel and roughly chop the hard-boiled eggs.
When the potatoes are done cooking, drain them in a colander and let them cool for about 10 minutes. You can spread them out on a baking sheet to cool faster.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, honey, black pepper, and paprika until smooth. This will be the dressing for the salad.
Add the cooled potatoes, diced celery, chopped red onion, chopped parsley, and chopped hard-boiled eggs to the mixing bowl with the dressing.
Using a spatula, gently toss everything together until the potatoes and vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing. Be careful not to mash the potatoes too much.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the potato salad for at least 1 hour before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together.
Serve the Outdoor Potato Salad chilled or at room temperature. Garnish with extra parsley or a sprinkle of paprika if desired.
