Perfect Potluck Potato Salad
This isn’t your grandma’s boring potato salad—oh no! We’re talking about a mouthwatering concoction that will have your taste buds doing the cha-cha. Grab your apron and let’s dive into this creamy potato paradise!
Ingredients
- 2 pounds of potatoes (we recommend Yukon Gold for extra buttery goodness)
- 1 cup mayonnaise (the real deal, folks — none of that low-fat nonsense)
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard (to give it a zesty kick)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (a splash of tanginess never hurt anyone)
- 1 cup celery, finely chopped (for that crunchy texture)
- 1 cup green onions, chopped (because who doesn’t love the zing of a green onion?)
- 3 boiled eggs, chopped (because, eggs!)
- Salt and pepper to taste (always important)
- Optional: a sprinke of paprika on top for that fancy look
Instructions
- First things first, take those lovely potatoes and peel them, because nobody likes a dirty potato salad. Then, cut them into bite-sized chunks.
- Boil those beauties in salted water until fork-tender. This should take about 15-20 minutes. Just don’t wander off and forget them—nobody wants mushy potatoes!
- While the potatoes are boiling, let’s whip up the dressing. In a big mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Give it a good stir until it’s all mixed up like a fabulous salad party!
- Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and let them cool. Nobody wants a hot potato salad; it’s not a game of hot potato here!
- Once cooled, add the potatoes to the bowl with the dressing. Then, toss in your chopped celery, green onions, and boiled eggs. Gently mix it all together. We want gentle hugs, not potato mush!
- Now, taste the salad and adjust the seasoning as needed. Maybe it needs a little more salt or a splash more vinegar? You’re the chef here!
- Finally, transfer that glorious potato salad to your serving dish and sprinkle a little paprika on top to make it look all fancy-schmancy. Look at you, a potato salad rockstar!
