Description
This classic potato salad recipe delivers a comforting and flavorful side dish, perfect for any gathering. It features tender potatoes, crisp celery, and a creamy, tangy dressing.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup yellow mustard
- 1/4 cup finely chopped celery
- 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Place the peeled and cubed potatoes in a large pot. Cover with cold water and add a pinch of salt.
- Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, about 15-20 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes thoroughly and let them cool for 10-15 minutes or until they are warm but not hot.
- While the potatoes cool, prepare the dressing. In a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, chopped dill, salt, and pepper.
- Add the cooled potatoes, chopped celery, and chopped red onion to the bowl with the dressing.
- Gently fold all ingredients together until the potatoes are evenly coated with the dressing. Be careful not to mash the potatoes.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld. For best results, chill for 4 hours or overnight.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed before serving.
Notes
- For a smoother dressing, you can use a food processor to finely chop the celery and red onion.
- If you prefer a less tangy dressing, reduce the amount of apple cider vinegar.
- Potato salad tastes even better the next day as the flavors deepen.
