Old-Fashioned Potato Salad recipe

INGREDIENTS

  • 6 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
  • 1/2 cup chopped celery
  • 1/4 cup chopped sweet pickles (or relish)
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Paprika for garnish (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Boil Potatoes: Place the peeled and chopped potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 10-12 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain and let cool.
  2. Cook Eggs: In a separate pot, boil the eggs for 10 minutes. Once cooked, place them in ice water to cool, then peel and chop.
  3. Make the Dressing: In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, mustard, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Add the cooled potatoes, chopped eggs, celery, pickles, and red onion to the dressing. Gently fold everything together until well coated.
  5. Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to meld.
  6. Serve: Garnish with paprika and fresh parsley if desired. Serve chilled.

Let me know if you’d like a tangier version, or one with bacon or dill!
