Ingredients

• 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes
• 1 cup Mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
• 2 stalks Celery
• 0.5 Red onion
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley
• 3 Hard-boiled eggs
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0.5 tsp Paprika

Directions

Step 1

Wash, peel (optional), and cut the Yukon Gold potatoes into bite-sized chunks.

Step 2

Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.

Step 3

Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes for approximately 10-15 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Be careful not to overcook them.

Step 4

Drain the potatoes and let them cool for about 10-15 minutes.

Step 5

While the potatoes are cooling, dice the celery and red onion into small pieces, and chop the fresh parsley.

Step 6

Peel the hard-boiled eggs and chop them into medium-sized chunks.

Step 7

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well to form a creamy dressing.

Step 8

Add the cooled potatoes, diced celery, red onion, chopped parsley, and hard-boiled eggs into the mixing bowl with the dressing.

Step 9

Gently toss all the ingredients together until everything is evenly coated with the dressing.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 11

Cover the potato salad and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 12

Serve chilled as a side dish and sprinkle with a little extra paprika or parsley for garnish, if desired.
