Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1.5 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 3 stalks Celery
- 0.5 cup Red onion
- 3 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 whole Hard-boiled eggs
Instructions
Peel and dice the Yukon Gold potatoes into 1-inch cubes.
Place the diced potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Avoid overcooking.
Drain the potatoes in a colander and let them cool for a few minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Finely dice the celery and red onion, and chop the parsley. Add them to the dressing in the bowl.
Peel and chop the hard-boiled eggs into bite-sized pieces, then gently fold them into the dressing.
Gently add the cooled potatoes to the bowl, folding them into the dressing mixture. Be careful not to mash the potatoes.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or pepper to your preference.
Refrigerate the potato salad for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
