Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 large eggs, hard boiled and chopped
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, finely diced
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish (optional)
  • Instructions

  • Start by placing the peeled and cubed potatoes in a large pot of salted cold water. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are just tender when poked with a fork. Be careful not to overcook since you want them firm enough to hold together in the salad.
  • Drain the potatoes well and spread them out on a baking sheet or large tray to cool a bit while you prepare the dressing.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  • Gently fold in the warm potatoes, making sure each cube is coated with the creamy, tangy dressing. Then stir in the red onion, celery, and chopped eggs. If using relish, add it here.
  • Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least an hour to let the flavors marry and the dressing seep deep into the potatoes.
  • Just before serving, sprinkle fresh parsley over the top. Give it one last gentle stir, taste for salt or pepper, and enjoy.
