Description

A creamy, tangy potato salad that combines rich mayonnaise with crisp vegetables for a delightful side dish perfect for any gathering.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds Russet potatoes (peeled and diced)
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon mustard (Dijon or yellow)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 0.5 cup chopped celery
  • 0.5 cup chopped red onion

Instructions

  1. Boil the diced potatoes in cold, salted water until tender (about 10-15 minutes), then drain and let cool.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth. Chill briefly if time allows.
  3. Add the cooled potatoes, chopped celery, and red onion to the bowl and toss to combine gently.
  4. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 60 minutes.
  5. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper before serving.

Notes

Letting the salad chill enhances the flavor; aim for at least an hour, but overnight is even better.
