Classic potato salad with a creamy dressing.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup chopped celery

  3. Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, celery, red onion, pickle relish, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar.
