Ingredients for the Ultimate Potato Salad
- 2 pounds of potatoes (the kind you’d want to hug)
- 1 cup of mayonnaise (because who doesn’t love a little creaminess?)
- 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard (for that fancy touch)
- 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar (because we’re living on the edge)
- 1 teaspoon of salt (or more if you’re feeling salty)
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper (a little kick never hurt anyone)
- 1/2 cup of chopped fresh dill (the star of the show)
- 1/2 cup of diced celery (for the crunch factor)
- 1/2 cup of diced red onion (makes it look fancy)
- 4 hard-boiled eggs, chopped (because we can get egg-stra fancy)
Instructions: Let’s Get Cooking!
- First things first, peel those potatoes and chop them into bite-sized pieces. Make sure they’re all roughly the same size, so they cook evenly—nobody likes a lumpy potato salad.
- Boil the potatoes in a large pot of salted water until tender. This usually takes about 10-15 minutes. Just keep an eye on them, or they might turn into mashed potatoes (not that there’s anything wrong with mashed potatoes, but we’re aiming for chunks!).
- Drain the potatoes and let them cool completely. While they’re hanging out, mix together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. This dressing is where the magic happens!
- Once the potatoes are cool, add them to the bowl with the dressing and toss gently to coat. We’re not trying to create a mashed potato mishap here!
- Now, fold in the fresh dill, celery, red onion, and hard-boiled eggs. Be gentle; we want to keep those potatoes intact and proud!
- Cover the bowl and stash it in the fridge for at least 2 hours (or overnight if you’re super patient). This allows all those fabulous flavors to mingle and throw a little party of their own.
- When you’re ready to serve, give it a quick stir and taste. Adjust seasoning if needed. Then dig in and watch your friends and family fall in love!
And there you have it, folks! A delightful Dill Potato Salad that’s sure to brighten up any meal. So grab those potatoes and start mixing – your taste buds are counting on you!
