Ingredients

• 2 pounds Gold potatoes
• 1 tablespoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 1.5 teaspoons Mustard seeds (yellow or brown)
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 2 pieces Celery stalks, finely diced
• 0.5 cup Red onion, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, chopped (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into bite-sized chunks. Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold, salted water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 2

Drain the potatoes and let them cool for 10 minutes. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

While the potatoes are cooling, toast the mustard seeds in a small dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, for about 1-2 minutes or until they start to pop and release their aroma. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, honey, toasted mustard seeds, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Add the celery, red onion, parsley, and dill (if using) to the potatoes in the large bowl. Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and gently toss to coat everything evenly.

Step 6

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.

Step 7

Serve cold or at room temperature, garnished with additional parsley or dill if desired. Enjoy!
