An old-fashioned potato salad with tender potatoes, crunchy celery, sharp red onion, and hard-boiled eggs in a creamy mayo-mustard dressing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds potatoes (Yukon Gold or red potatoes)
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 cup diced celery
  • 1 cup diced red onion
  • 3 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Fill a large pot with salted water and add the potatoes. Bring to a boil, then simmer until a fork goes in easily, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  2. Drain the potatoes and let them cool until they are easy to handle.
  3. When cool, peel the potatoes if you like and chop them into bite-sized pieces.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and Dijon mustard until smooth.
  5. Add the chopped potatoes, diced celery, diced red onion, and chopped hard-boiled eggs to the bowl.
  6. Season with salt and pepper. Gently fold everything with a large spoon until the potatoes are coated with the dressing.
  7. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the potato salad for at least one hour before serving.

Notes

For a looser dressing, add extra vinegar or a splash of pickle juice. Use vegan mayonnaise for a dairy-free version.
