Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large pot, place the diced potatoes and cover them with cold water. Add a generous pinch of salt to the water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 10-12 minutes. Be careful not to overcook them. Once done, drain the potatoes and let them cool to room temperature.
-
In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of salt and pepper. This creamy dressing will be the perfect coating for the potatoes.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled potatoes, celery, red onion, and parsley. Gently stir to combine all the ingredients without breaking the potatoes.
-
Pour the prepared dressing over the potato mixture. Using a spatula, gently fold the dressing into the potatoes until they are evenly coated. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
-
Transfer the potato salad to a serving bowl. Sprinkle some paprika over the top for a pop of color.
-
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
-
When ready to serve, give the potato salad a quick toss to recombine the flavors. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley before serving.
