Ingredients

• 2 pounds red potatoes
• 0.5 cups mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 pieces celery stalks
• 0.25 cups red onion
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 pieces hard-boiled eggs

Directions

Step 1

Scrub the red potatoes under running water and cut them into bite-sized chunks. If desired, leave the skin on for added texture and nutrients.

Step 2

Place the potato chunks into a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch 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 10-12 minutes or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 4

While the potatoes cook, finely dice the celery and red onion. Chop the parsley and set these ingredients aside.

Step 5

Peel and chop the hard-boiled eggs into small pieces.

Step 6

Once the potatoes are done, drain them in a colander and let them cool for 10-15 minutes.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Add the cooked potatoes, celery, red onion, parsley, and chopped eggs to the bowl with the dressing. Gently toss until all ingredients are evenly coated.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Refrigerate the potato salad for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 11

Serve chilled as a side dish for your favorite meal or picnic.
