Ingredients

• 2 pounds yellow potatoes

• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 2 celery stalks
• 0.5 red onion
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into bite-sized chunks.

Step 2

Place the potato chunks into a large pot of cold, salted water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for 12-15 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain and set aside to cool.

Step 3

While the potatoes are cooking, peel and chop the hard-boiled eggs into small pieces.

Step 4

Finely chop the celery stalks, red onion, and parsley. Set aside.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.

Step 6

Gently fold the cooled potatoes, chopped eggs, celery, onion, and parsley into the dressing. Mix until all ingredients are evenly coated.

Step 7

Taste the salad and adjust seasoning if necessary by adding more salt and pepper.

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 paprika over the top for garnish if desired.
