Ingredients

• 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 2 Celery stalks
• 0.25 Red onion
• 0.25 cup Sweet pickles
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
• 2 Hard-boiled eggs
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika

Directions

Step 1

Wash and peel the Yukon Gold potatoes. Dice them into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.

Step 2

Place the diced potatoes into a large pot, cover with cold water, and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes simmer for 10-12 minutes or until they are fork-tender. Be careful not to overcook to avoid mushy potatoes.

Step 4

Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly while you prepare the remaining ingredients.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar until smooth and combined.

Step 6

Finely chop the celery stalks, red onion, and sweet pickles. Add them to the bowl with the dressing.

Step 7

Chop the fresh dill and the hard-boiled eggs, and gently fold them into the dressing mix.

Step 8

Add the cooled potatoes to the mixing bowl. Toss gently to coat the potatoes evenly without breaking them.

Step 9

Season with black pepper and paprika, adjusting the seasoning to taste if needed.

Step 10

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the potato salad for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld together.

Step 11

Serve chilled. Garnish with an extra sprinkle of paprika and fresh dill, if desired.
