Ingredients

• 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
• 1 cup Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 2 pieces Celery stalks, finely diced
• 0.5 cup Red onion, finely diced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, chopped
• 4 pieces Hard-boiled eggs, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Scrub the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Leave the skins on for flavor and texture, or peel them off if preferred.

Step 2

Place the potato pieces in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a generous pinch of salt to the water.

Step 3

Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender but not falling apart.

Step 4

While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the dressing. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Drain the cooked potatoes and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Let them cool for 10-15 minutes at room temperature.

Step 6

Once the potatoes are warm but not hot, gently fold in the diced celery, red onion, parsley, dill, and hard-boiled eggs.

Step 7

Pour the mayonnaise dressing over the potato mixture and stir gently to combine, ensuring that all the ingredients are evenly coated.

Step 8

Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Before serving, garnish with a sprinkle of paprika, if desired, and a few extra sprigs of parsley for presentation.
