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:
- 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.
- 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.
- Drain the potatoes and let them cool for a few minutes. Once cool, cut them into bite-sized pieces.
- 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.
- 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.
- If desired, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top for a pop of color and flavor.
- 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!
