Step 1

Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover them with cold water, and add a pinch of salt.

Bring the pot to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 4

Drain the potatoes and transfer them to a large mixing bowl to cool slightly.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.

Once the potatoes have cooled slightly, gently toss them with the dressing until evenly coated.

Step 8

If desired, stir in the grated cheddar cheese for an extra indulgent touch.
