Description

A nostalgic and flavorful potato salad featuring boiled Yukon Gold potatoes, creamy dressing, and fresh herbs.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 cup diced celery
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill (or your herb of choice)
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • Paprika for serving

Instructions

  1. Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut them into 1-inch cubes.
  2. Place potato cubes in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and simmer until fork-tender, about 10 to 15 minutes.
  3. Drain the cooked potatoes and let them cool completely for about 30 minutes.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper.
  5. Add the cooled potatoes, diced celery, red onion, and herbs to the dressing. Gently fold together.
  6. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  7. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour before serving to allow flavors to meld.

Notes

Always serve chilled for the best flavor. Consider making it a day ahead for even better results.
