I have this classic recipe for potato salad that will surely brighten up your day, wanna try?


Ingredients:
- 2 pounds (about 900g) potatoes (Yukon Gold or red potatoes work well)
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar or apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup chopped celery
- 1/4 cup chopped red onion (optional)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Paprika for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Boil Potatoes and Eggs:
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Leave the skin on for extra texture and nutrients, or peel if desired.
- Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
- Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and let the potatoes simmer for about 10-15 minutes or until they are fork-tender.
- While the potatoes are cooking, place the eggs in a separate saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil, then turn off the heat and let the eggs sit in the hot water for about 10-12 minutes.
- Once the eggs are done, remove them from the hot water and place them in a bowl of cold water to cool. Once cooled, peel the eggs and chop them into small pieces.
- Prepare Dressing:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and vinegar until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the ingredients according to your preference.
- Assemble Potato Salad:
- Drain the cooked potatoes and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Let them cool for a few minutes.
- Add the chopped eggs, chopped celery, and chopped red onion (if using) to the bowl with the potatoes.
- Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.
- Taste the potato salad and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- If using, sprinkle chopped parsley and paprika over the top for garnish.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the potato salad for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve:
- Once chilled, give the potato salad a final toss before serving.
- Enjoy your classic potato salad as a side dish at picnics, barbecues, or alongside your favorite main courses.
