Ingredients

  • 3 pounds Russet potatoes
  • 4 large Eggs
  • 6 slices Bacon
  • 1 cup Mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Yellow mustard
  • 2 tablespoons Pickle relish
  • 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
  • 2 stalks Celery
  • 1 small Red onion
  • 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash, peel, and cut the Russet potatoes into 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer the potatoes for 10-15 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and let them cool slightly.

Step 4

While the potatoes are boiling, place the eggs in a small saucepan and cover them with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Cool the eggs in ice water, peel them, and chop them into bite-sized pieces.

Step 5

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crisp. Remove and place on a paper towel to drain, then crumble into small pieces once cooled.

Step 6

Dice the celery and red onion into small pieces for crunch and flavor.

Step 7

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, yellow mustard, pickle relish, apple cider vinegar, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Whisk until smooth to create the dressing.

Step 8

Add the drained potatoes, chopped eggs, diced celery, diced red onion, and crumbled bacon to the bowl with the dressing. Stir gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Before serving, sprinkle with a little extra paprika for garnish, if desired.
