Ingredients

• 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1.5 tablespoons White vinegar
• 2 pieces Celery stalks, diced
• 0.5 cup Red onion, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
• 3 pieces Hard-boiled eggs, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into evenly sized 1-inch cubes to ensure even cooking.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for about 10-12 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Make sure not to overcook them.

Step 4

Drain the potatoes in a colander and let them cool for about 10-15 minutes until they are no longer steaming.

Step 5

While the potatoes are cooling, prepare the dressing. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, 1 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper until smooth.

Step 6

Add the diced celery, chopped red onion, fresh dill, and chopped hard-boiled eggs to the bowl with the dressing. Stir gently to combine.

Step 7

Once the potatoes have cooled, add them to the bowl with the dressing and other ingredients. Gently toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed by adding more salt or pepper.

Step 9

Transfer the potato salad to a serving bowl and sprinkle paprika on top for garnish, if desired.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Serve chilled and enjoy!
