The BEST Potato Salad!

• servings: 6 servings
• total time: 1 hour

Ingredients

3 pounds Yukon Gold or red potatoes*, cut into 3/4-inch cubes

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

1 1/4 cups mayonnaise

1/3 cup dill pickle relish (optional)

1 teaspoon celery salt

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

4 hard-boiled eggs, diced

2 celery stalks, diced

half of a small red onion, thinly sliced

sea salt and freshly-cracked black pepper

optional toppings: smoked paprika or Old Bay seasoning, chopped fresh chives, (extra) sliced hard-boiled eggs

Directions

Boil the potatoes

Place the diced potatoes in a large stockpot and add enough cold water so that the potatoes are covered by 1 inch. Cook over medium-high heat until the water reaches a boil. Reduce heat to medium to maintain a simmer, then continue cooking the potatoes for 5-8 minutes or until the potatoes pierce easily with a fork. Try to avoid overcooking the potatoes.

Drain the potatoes thoroughly in a colander. Return the potatoes to the stockpot, drizzle evenly with the vinegar, and let the potatoes rest for 20-30 minutes* or until cool enough to handle.

Make the dressing

Meanwhile, whisk together the mayo, celery salt, mustard and pickle relish in a medium bowl until evenly combined.

Combine

Once the potatoes are ready to go, add in the mayo mixture, diced eggs, celery and onion. Toss gently until evenly combined.

Season

Taste and season with additional salt and pepper if needed. (Also feel free to add in a tablespoon or two of pickle juice if you would like.)

Chill

Transfer the potato salad to a serving bowl, cover, and refrigerate for 1-2 hours to chill.

Serve chilled and enjoy! Leftovers can be refrigerated in a sealed container for up to 3 days.
