A creamy and crunchy potato salad, perfect for summer picnics and potlucks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold or red potatoes
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons mustard
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1/2 cup diced celery
  • 1/4 cup chopped pickles or relish
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Paprika for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Put potatoes in a pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt.
  2. Bring to a boil, then simmer until tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  3. Drain the potatoes and let them cool enough to handle. Peel if desired, then dice into bite-size pieces.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the diced potatoes, mayonnaise, mustard, diced onion, diced celery, and chopped pickles or relish.
  5. Stir gently to coat the potatoes evenly, taking care not to mash them.
  6. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
  7. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least one hour.
  8. Before serving, sprinkle with paprika if desired.

Notes

For a lighter dressing, substitute half the mayo with plain Greek yogurt. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 3 to 5 days.
