  • In a large pot, boil water with a pinch of salt. Add the quartered potatoes and cook until fork-tender, which takes about 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Once cooked, drain the potatoes in a colander and allow them to cool slightly before cubing into bite-sized pieces.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
  • Add the chopped celery, red onion, dill pickles, and hard-boiled eggs into the dressing mixture and gently fold.
  • Carefully add the cooled, cubed potatoes into the mixing bowl. Fold gently to combine without breaking the potatoes.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  • Cover and chill your potato salad in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  • When ready to serve, give the salad a gentle stir and garnish with fresh dill if desired.
  • Serve and enjoy your Irresistible Classic Potato Salad!
