A classic potato salad recipe with a creamy dressing, perfect for any gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or red potatoes, scrubbed
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a generous pinch of salt.
  2. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium and cook until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, about 15-20 minutes.
  3. Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly.
  4. While the potatoes are still warm, cut them into bite-sized cubes.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar.
  6. Add the chopped red onion, hard-boiled eggs, and parsley to the bowl.
  7. Gently fold in the warm potato cubes until evenly coated.
  8. Season with salt and black pepper to your liking.
  9. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Notes

  • For a tangier flavor, you can add a tablespoon of pickle relish.
  • If you prefer a lighter potato salad, you can substitute half of the mayonnaise with plain Greek yogurt.
  • Ensure potatoes are cooked until tender but not mushy for the best texture.
