Ingredients
Gather up these fresh ingredients to whip up this delightful salad:
- 2 lbs of potatoes, preferably waxy ones like Yukon Gold
- 1 medium red onion, finely chopped
- 1 bell pepper, diced (red or yellow for sweetness)
- 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar
- 4 tablespoons of olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon of mustard (preferably Dijon)
- 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Now, let’s get down to business. Follow these simple steps to create your potato field salad:
- Start by boiling the potatoes in salted water. You want them to be fork-tender but not mushy. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes. After they’re ready, drain them and let them cool a bit before peeling.
- Once cooled, cut the potatoes into bite-sized cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
- Next, add your finely chopped red onion and diced bell pepper to the bowl. These add a nice crunch and color to the salad.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, mustard, salt, and pepper. This dressing is what brings all those flavors together.
- Pour the dressing over your potato mixture and gently toss everything together until the potatoes are well-coated.
- If you’re using parsley, sprinkle it on top for that finishing touch. It not only adds flavor but makes your salad look even more enticing!
- Let the salad sit for about 30 minutes in the refrigerator to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve it cold or at room temperature, and watch everyone dig in!
