Description
Classic Potato Salad combines tender potatoes, crisp vegetables, and a creamy dressing for a timeless side dish that's always a hit at gatherings.
Ingredients
3 pounds potatoes (preferably Yukon Gold or red potatoes), peeled and cut into bite-sized pieces
4 eggs, hard-boiled and chopped
1 cup celery, finely chopped
1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup mustard (yellow or Dijon)
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Paprika (for garnish)
Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Boil potatoes in salted water until they are tender but still firm, about 10 minutes. Drain and let cool.
In a large bowl, combine the cooled potatoes, chopped eggs, celery, and onion.
In a separate bowl, mix mayonnaise, mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and gently stir to combine. Ensure all ingredients are evenly coated.
Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving to allow flavors to meld.
Garnish with paprika and fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
For a lighter version, substitute half the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
Add pickles or pickle relish for an extra tangy flavor.
