Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 2 pieces Celery stalks, finely diced
- 0.5 small Red onion, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 pinch Paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash, peel, and chop the potatoes into bite-sized cubes.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and fill with water until they are fully submerged. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for 12-15 minutes, or until they are fork-tender but not falling apart.
While the potatoes are cooking, place the eggs in a small pot and cover them with cold water.
Bring the water with the eggs to a boil. Once boiling, remove the pot from the heat, cover it, and let the eggs sit for 10 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and allow them to cool slightly in a colander.
Drain the eggs and transfer them to a bowl of ice water. Once cooled, peel the eggs and roughly chop them.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and well incorporated.
Add the cooked potatoes, chopped eggs, celery, red onion, and parsley to the bowl of dressing. Gently fold the mixture until everything is evenly coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt or black pepper to your preference.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, sprinkle a pinch of paprika over the salad for garnish, if desired.
Serve cold or at room temperature. Enjoy!
