Ingredients

• 6 large Russet potatoes
• 4 large Hard-boiled eggs
• 1 cup Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Yellow mustard
• 3 tablespoons Sweet pickle relish
• 2 stalks Celery
• 0.5 medium Red onion
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Peel and cut the russet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.

Step 2

Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Be careful not to overcook them.

Step 3

While the potatoes are cooking, dice the celery and red onion into small pieces. Peel and chop the hard-boiled eggs into bite-sized pieces.

Step 4

Drain the cooked potatoes and let them cool completely. You can spread them on a baking sheet to speed up cooling.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, yellow mustard, sweet pickle relish, apple cider vinegar, paprika, remaining 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined to make the dressing.

Step 6

Gently fold the cooled potatoes, diced celery, red onion, and chopped eggs into the dressing mixture. Mix until everything is evenly coated.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. You can add more salt, pepper, or mustard based on your preference.

Step 8

Transfer the potato salad to a serving dish. For presentation, sprinkle a pinch of paprika over the top.

Step 9

Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to meld together. Serve chilled.
