Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
- 2 Celery stalks
- 0.5 Red onion
- 3 tbsp Dill pickles
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley
- 0.5 tsp Pepper
- 2 Hard-boiled eggs
Instructions
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized cubes (keep the peel on for texture or peel them if you prefer).
Place the potato cubes in a large pot, cover with water, and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil and cook for about 10-15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender but still hold their shape.
Drain the potatoes and let them cool completely. Spread them out on a sheet pan to cool evenly if desired.
Meanwhile, dice the celery stalks, finely chop the red onion and dill pickles, and set everything aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and pepper to make the dressing.
Chop the fresh parsley and peel and chop the hard-boiled eggs into small pieces.
Once the potatoes are cool, place them in a large mixing bowl. Add the celery, red onion, dill pickles, and hard-boiled eggs.
Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and gently fold everything together until well-coated.
Sprinkle the fresh parsley over the top for garnish.
Chill the potato salad in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld.
Serve cold and enjoy!
