Ingredients

• 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1.5 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 2 stalks Celery stalks, finely diced
• 0.25 cup Red onion, finely diced
• 2 tablespoons Sweet pickle relish
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, finely chopped
• 3 large Hard-boiled eggs, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into bite-sized chunks (approximately 1-inch pieces).

Step 2

Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.

Step 3

Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Avoid overcooking to prevent them from becoming mushy.

Step 4

Drain the potatoes and spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer to cool to room temperature.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and sweet pickle relish. Whisk together until smooth.

Step 6

Add the diced celery, red onion, chopped parsley, chopped dill, and black pepper to the dressing. Mix until well combined.

Step 7

Gently fold the cooled potatoes and chopped hard-boiled eggs into the dressing mixture. Stir until all the ingredients are evenly coated.

Step 8

Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or vinegar to suit your preferences.

Step 9

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 10

Before serving, garnish with a sprinkle of paprika (optional) and extra chopped parsley, if desired.

Step 11

Serve chilled and enjoy your tangy potato salad!
