Instructions
Preparation
- Start by peeling and cutting your Yukon Gold potatoes into chunks.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Cooking
- Once boiling, add the potato chunks and cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and set them aside to cool completely.
- Hard boil the eggs by placing them in a pot of cold water. Bring to a boil, then cover and remove from heat. Let sit for about 12 minutes, then cool, peel, and chop them.
Mixing
- In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, sugar, black pepper, and salt. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
- Finely chop the celery, red onion, and dill pickles.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the cooled potatoes, chopped vegetables, and chopped eggs.
Dressing the Salad
- Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and gently fold until everything is well-coated.
- Taste the salad to adjust seasonings as needed.
- Sprinkle fresh parsley on top for color and flavor.
Chilling
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving, to allow flavors to meld.
Notes
For a creamier texture, mix in a bit of sour cream or use a hand mixer to blend the dressing slightly before adding to the potatoes.
