Ingredients

• 6 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Yellow mustard
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 2 medium Celery stalks
• 2 tablespoons Sweet pickle relish
• 3 large Hard-boiled eggs
• 0.25 cup Red onion
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the potatoes into bite-sized chunks, approximately 1-inch pieces.

Step 2

Place the diced potatoes into a large pot of water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and bring to a boil over high heat.

Step 3

Lower the heat to medium and simmer the potatoes for about 10-12 minutes or until they are fork-tender.

Step 4

Drain the cooked potatoes and allow them to cool completely. You can spread them out on a baking sheet to cool faster.

Step 5

While the potatoes are cooling, chop the celery, hard-boiled eggs, and red onion into small pieces.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, sweet pickle relish, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to make a creamy dressing.

Step 7

Gently fold the cooled potatoes, celery, chopped eggs, and red onion into the dressing. Mix until everything is evenly coated.

Step 8

Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary by adding extra salt or pepper.

Step 9

Sprinkle a touch of paprika on top for garnish and add fresh parsley if desired.

Step 10

Cover the mixing bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to let the flavors meld together.

Step 11

Serve chilled and enjoy as a side dish to complement your favorite meals!
