• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 3 Hard-boiled eggs

Directions

Step 1

Wash and peel the Yukon Gold potatoes. Cut them into 1-inch cubes to ensure even cooking.

Step 2

Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.

Step 3

Bring the pot to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender but not mushy.

Step 4

Drain the potatoes and let them cool for 10-15 minutes.

Step 5

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

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, sweet pickle relish, black pepper, and the remaining teaspoon of salt to make the dressing.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 9

Transfer the potato salad to a serving bowl and sprinkle the top with paprika for garnish.

Step 10

Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
