Ingredients

• 2.5 pounds Russet potatoes
• 1 cup Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Yellow mustard
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Dill pickle relish
• 2 stalks Celery stalks
• 0.5 cup Red onion
• 4 large Hard-boiled eggs
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse and peel the potatoes. Cut them into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.

Step 2

Place the cubed potatoes into a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring the water to a boil.

Step 3

Cook the potatoes for about 10-15 minutes, or until they are fork-tender but not falling apart. Drain and allow them to cool to room temperature.

Step 4

While the potatoes are cooling, dice the celery and red onion into small pieces. Chop the hard-boiled eggs into small chunks.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, dill pickle relish, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth.

Step 6

Gently fold in the cooked potatoes, celery, red onion, and chopped eggs into the dressing. Mix until everything is evenly coated but try not to mash the potatoes.

Step 7

Taste the salad and adjust seasoning if needed by adding more salt, pepper, or vinegar to your preference.

Step 8

Transfer the potato salad to a serving bowl. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of paprika and chopped parsley.

Step 9

Cover and chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to meld.

Step 10

Serve cold and enjoy your Down Home Potato Salad!
