Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 0.5 cups Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 medium, diced Celery stalks
- 0.5 small, finely chopped Red onion
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
- 2 large, chopped Hard-boiled eggs
Instructions
Place the potatoes in a large pot and add enough water to cover them by about an inch. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
While the potatoes cook, prepare the dressing. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Drain the potatoes and allow them to cool slightly. Once they are cool enough to handle, peel them (if desired) and cut them into bite-sized pieces.
Transfer the warm potatoes to a large mixing bowl. Add the celery, red onion, parsley, and chopped hard-boiled eggs.
Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and gently toss to combine, ensuring all the ingredients are evenly coated. Be careful not to over-mix to avoid breaking the potatoes.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
