Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs Baby potatoes
• 1 cup Deli ham, diced
• 2 stalks Celery, finely chopped
• 0.5 cup Red onion, finely diced
• 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp Honey
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized pieces. If the potatoes are very small, you can leave them whole.

Step 2

Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch 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 for about 15-20 minutes or until they are fork-tender.

Step 4

Drain the potatoes and allow them to cool slightly. Set aside.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Add the cooked potatoes to the mixing bowl and toss gently to coat them evenly in the dressing.

Step 7

Fold in the diced ham, chopped celery, red onion, and parsley. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if necessary.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve chilled as a side dish or light main course. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.
