Ingredients

• 2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 2 stalks Celery, finely chopped
• 0.5 cup Red onion, finely diced
• 4 Hard-boiled eggs, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and cut the Yukon gold potatoes into bite-sized chunks.

Step 2

Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add the salt to the pot.

Step 3

Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and simmer the potatoes for about 10-12 minutes or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 4

Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly. Spread them out on a baking sheet to help them cool faster.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Add the celery, red onion, and chopped hard-boiled eggs to the dressing. Gently stir to combine.

Step 7

Once the potatoes have cooled to room temperature, add them to the mixing bowl with the dressing. Gently toss the potatoes to coat them evenly in the dressing.

Step 8

Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top and toss lightly to combine.

Step 9

If desired, garnish the potato salad with a light dusting of paprika for color.

Step 10

Cover the potato salad with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 11

Serve the potato salad cold as a side dish and enjoy!
