Ingredients
  

  • 3 pounds of Yukon Gold Russet, or Red Potatoes, peeled and cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 1 cup of high-quality mayonnaise preferably Duke’s brand
  • 2 tablespoons of yellow mustard
  • 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar
  • ¼ cup of sweet pickle relish
  • 4 hard-boiled eggs peeled and chopped
  • 2 ribs of celery finely chopped
  • ⅓ cup of green onions finely chopped
  • Kosher salt adjusted to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper adjusted to taste
  • Paprika for garnishing

Instructions

  • Potato Preparation: Begin by placing the cubed potatoes into a large pot. Cover them entirely with cold water. Proceed to bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Continue cooking for 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender enough to be easily pierced with a fork. Once cooked, drain the potatoes in a colander and allow them to cool slightly.
  • Dressing Preparation: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, yellow mustard, and apple cider vinegar. Whisk these ingredients together until they are thoroughly blended.
  • Combining the Ingredients: To the prepared dressing, add the sweet pickle relish, chopped hard-boiled eggs, chopped celery, green onions, and the previously drained potatoes. Using a gentle folding motion, mix these ingredients into the dressing, ensuring that the potatoes and vegetables are evenly coated.
  • Seasoning the Salad: Season the mixture with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Adjust the quantities to suit your taste preferences.
  • Final Presentation: Transfer the salad to a serving dish. As a finishing touch, lightly sprinkle the surface with paprika. This not only adds a subtle flavor but also enhances the visual appeal of the dish.
