Ingredients

• 6 medium russet or Yukon Gold potatoes
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 2 medium, diced celery stalks
• 0.5 medium, finely chopped red onion
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
• 2 large, chopped hard-boiled eggs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Peel and cut the potatoes into evenly sized chunks (about 1-inch).

Step 2

Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold, salted water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender but not falling apart.

Step 4

Drain the potatoes and let them cool completely. For faster cooling, you can spread them out on a baking sheet.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Add the cooled potatoes, diced celery, chopped red onion, parsley, and chopped hard-boiled eggs to the bowl with the dressing.

Step 7

Gently toss the ingredients together until the potatoes are evenly coated with the dressing. Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper, if needed.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Serve chilled or at room temperature. Garnish with additional parsley, if desired.
