Description
Classic American Potato Salad is a creamy and flavorful dish made with Yukon Gold potatoes, mayonnaise, and a variety of fresh ingredients, perfect for picnics and barbecues.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 3 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until the potatoes are tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth.
- Add the cooled potatoes to the bowl with the dressing and gently fold to coat the potatoes evenly.
- Stir in the chopped celery, red onion, and hard-boiled eggs. Mix gently to combine all ingredients without breaking the potatoes.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
- Before serving, sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish.
Notes
- For added crunch, consider mixing in diced pickles or relish.
- Substitute Greek yogurt for half of the mayonnaise for a lighter version.
