The Best Ever Potato Salad Recipe<\/p>\n
Ingredients:<\/p>\n
\u2022 2\u00bd lbs (about 6 cups) Yukon Gold or red potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks<\/p>\n
\u2022 1 cup mayonnaise (preferably Duke\u2019s or Hellmann\u2019s)<\/p>\n
\u2022 2 tbsp yellow mustard<\/p>\n
\u2022 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (optional, for depth)<\/p>\n
\u2022 2 tsp apple cider vinegar<\/p>\n
\u2022 1 tsp sugar<\/p>\n
\u2022 Salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste<\/p>\n
\u2022 \u00bd cup celery, finely diced<\/p>\n
\u2022 \u00bd cup red onion, finely diced (or sweet onion)<\/p>\n
\u2022 \u00bc cup dill pickle relish (or chopped dill pickles)<\/p>\n
\u2022 4 hard-boiled eggs, chopped<\/p>\n
\u2022 1 tsp celery seed or 1 tsp chopped fresh dill (optional but amazing)<\/p>\n
\u2022 Paprika, for garnish<\/p>\n
\u2022 Chopped chives or parsley (optional garnish)<\/p>\n
Instructions:<\/p>\n
1. Boil the potatoes:<\/p>\n
Place the potato chunks in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 10\u201312 minutes, or until fork-tender but not falling apart. Drain and let them cool for a few minutes.<\/p>\n
2. Make the dressing:<\/p>\n
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayo, yellow mustard, Dijon mustard (if using), vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper.<\/p>\n
3. Mix it up:<\/p>\n
Add the cooled potatoes, celery, onion, pickle relish, and chopped eggs to the bowl. Toss gently to coat everything in the dressing without mashing the potatoes.<\/p>\n
4. Season and chill:<\/p>\n
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or vinegar if needed. Sprinkle with paprika and herbs on top. Chill for at least 2 hours, or overnight for maximum flavor.<\/p>\n
Tips:<\/p>\n
\u2022 If you like a slightly tangier salad, add more vinegar or a splash of pickle juice.<\/p>\n
\u2022 For extra richness, mash 1\u20132 of the cooked egg yolks into the dressing.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Some people love a little crunch of crumbled bacon mixed in too.<\/p>\n
