Ingredients

• 3 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes
• 1 cup Mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
• 2 Celery stalks
• 0.5 Red onion
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley
• 4 Hard-boiled eggs
• 6 slices Bacon
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0.5 tsp Paprika (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into evenly sized chunks, about 1-2 inches each.

Step 2

Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover them with cold, salted water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 3

While the potatoes are cooking, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to cool, then crumble into small pieces.

Step 4

Finely dice the celery and red onion. Chop the fresh parsley and set aside. Peel and chop the hard-boiled eggs into small pieces.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth and adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 6

Once the potatoes are done, drain them and let them cool slightly. Transfer the warm potatoes to the mixing bowl with the dressing and gently toss until well-coated.

Step 7

Add the celery, red onion, crumbled bacon, chopped eggs, and parsley to the bowl with the potatoes. Gently fold them into the salad to ensure even distribution.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Before serving, sprinkle the top with paprika if desired. Serve chilled and enjoy!
