Description
A traditional Southern favorite, this creamy potato salad combines potatoes, eggs, and a unique blend of ingredients for a crowd-pleasing side dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 pounds russet or Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 celery stalks, chopped finely
- 1 small onion, diced
- 4 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh dill or parsley, chopped (optional)
- A pinch of sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by placing the peeled and cubed potatoes in a large pot. Fill the pot with cold water, ensuring the potatoes are submerged. Add a generous pinch of salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- While your potatoes are boiling, prepare the hard-boiled eggs by placing them in a small pot, covering with cold water, and bringing to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat, cover, and let sit for about 10-12 minutes.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, drain and let cool slightly. Finely chop the celery and onion.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth.
- Once the potatoes have cooled to room temperature, add them to the mixing bowl along with the chopped celery, onion, and peeled, chopped hard-boiled eggs. Gently fold the ingredients together.
- Once combined, sprinkle in the fresh dill or parsley if desired, and give it another gentle fold.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
Notes
For a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt for mayonnaise or use vegan mayo. For low-carb options, swap potatoes for cauliflower.
