Ingredients

• 2 lbs Russet potatoes
• 4 large Hard-boiled eggs
• 2 stalks Celery
• 3 spears Dill pickles
• 1 cup Mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp Yellow mustard
• 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp Granulated sugar
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 0.5 tsp Paprika
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into uniform, bite-sized chunks (about 1-inch pieces).

Step 2

Fill a large pot with water and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Place the potato chunks into the pot and bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Cook the potatoes for 10-15 minutes, or until they are fork-tender but not falling apart. Drain the potatoes and allow them to cool slightly.

Step 4

While the potatoes are cooling, dice the celery and dill pickles into small, even pieces. Peel and chop the hard-boiled eggs into chunks.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth to create the dressing.

Step 6

Add the potatoes, celery, pickles, and eggs to the bowl with the dressing. Gently fold everything together, ensuring all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing. Take care not to mash the potatoes.

Step 7

Taste the salad and adjust seasoning if needed (add more salt, pepper, or vinegar to suit your preference).

Step 8

Cover the potato salad and refrigerate it for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 9

Before serving, sprinkle the salad with paprika and fresh parsley if desired for garnish.

Step 10

Serve chilled and enjoy!
