Ingredients

• 3 lbs Russet potatoes
• 1 tbsp Salt
• 1 cup Mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tbsp Sugar
• 2 stalks Celery stalks, diced
• 0.5 Red onion, finely chopped
• 4 Hard-boiled eggs, chopped
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0.25 tsp Paprika (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and cube the potatoes into uniform 1-inch pieces to ensure even cooking.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook the potatoes until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Step 4

Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly before transferring to a large mixing bowl.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and sugar to create the dressing.

Step 6

Add the diced celery, chopped red onion, and parsley to the potatoes. Gently fold in the dressing until the potatoes are evenly coated.

Step 7

Carefully incorporate the chopped hard-boiled eggs, being mindful not to break them up too much.

Step 8

Season the salad with black pepper to taste, adjusting salt if needed.

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, sprinkle the potato salad with a dusting of paprika for garnish.
