Ingredients

• 6 medium Russet potatoes
• 1 cup Mayonnaise
• 2 teaspoons Yellow mustard
• 0.25 cup Red onion
• 1 stalk Celery
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon White vinegar
• 2 large Hard-boiled eggs

Directions

Step 1

Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into evenly sized 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

Place the cubed potatoes into a large pot and fill with enough cold water to cover them by 1 inch. Add a pinch of salt.

Step 3

Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce to a simmer and cook the potatoes for 12-15 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.

Step 4

Drain the potatoes in a colander and let them cool completely to room temperature.

Step 5

While the potatoes cool, finely dice the red onion and celery. Roughly chop the parsley and the peeled hard-boiled eggs.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, prepare the dressing by combining mayonnaise, mustard, white vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.

Step 7

Gently fold the cooled potatoes into the dressing, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated.

Step 8

Add the diced red onion, celery, chopped eggs, and parsley. Mix gently to incorporate without breaking up the potatoes too much.

Step 9

Taste for seasoning and adjust with more salt or pepper if needed.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Serve the potato salad chilled, optionally garnished with a sprinkle of fresh parsley on top.
