Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 2 pieces Celery stalks
- 1 whole Red bell pepper
- 0.5 whole Red onion
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
- 0.75 cup Italian dressing
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
Directions
Step 1
Scrub the Yukon Gold potatoes clean, leave the skin on, and cut them into bite-sized chunks (about 1-inch pieces).
Step 2
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.
Step 3
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and let the potatoes cool completely.
Step 4
While the potatoes are cooling, finely dice the celery, red bell pepper, and red onion. Chop the fresh parsley.
Step 5
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the Italian dressing, mayonnaise, black pepper, and garlic powder until smooth.
Step 6
Once the potatoes are cool, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Gently stir in the diced celery, red bell pepper, red onion, and parsley.
Step 7
Pour the dressing mixture over the potato salad and gently toss until all the ingredients are evenly coated.
Step 8
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Step 9
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the potato salad for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld together.
Step 10
Serve chilled as a side dish and enjoy!
