Description

This Best Potato Salad Recipe is a classic side dish perfect for picnics or summer gatherings. Creamy and flavorful, it features tender Yukon Gold potatoes mixed with a savory dressing and crunchy vegetables.


Ingredients

Potato Salad:

  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ cup finely chopped celery
  • ½ cup finely chopped red onion
  • 3 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill (optional)


Instructions

  1. Cook Potatoes: Place potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water, bring to a boil, then simmer for 10-12 minutes until tender. Drain and cool slightly.
  2. Prepare Dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Add potatoes, celery, red onion, and eggs to the dressing. Gently stir to coat evenly. Fold in dill if desired.
  4. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to blend flavors. Serve chilled.

Notes

  • You can use red potatoes instead of Yukon Gold for a firmer texture.
  • For a tangier taste, increase mustard or add pickle juice.
