Southern Potato Salad - Spicy Southern Kitchen

Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds of red potatoes
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped red onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped celery
  • 3 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Start by washing the red potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into quarters, and place them in a pot. Cover with water and bring to a boil.
  2. Once boiling, cook the potatoes until they are tender but still firm, about 15-20 minutes. You want them to be cooked through but not mushy.
  3. Drain the potatoes and let them cool for a few minutes. Once cool, cut them into bite-sized pieces.
  4. In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the mixture until it’s smooth and creamy.
  5. Add the chopped potatoes, red onion, celery, and hard-boiled eggs to the bowl. Gently fold everything together to coat the potatoes and other ingredients with the dressing.
  6. If desired, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top for a pop of color and flavor.
  7. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully!

This Southern Potato Salad can be served as a side dish to grilled meats or as part of a picnic spread. It’s hearty, satisfying, and absolutely delicious! Enjoy your culinary creation!
