A classic, creamy potato salad with hard-boiled eggs, tangy mustard, and apple cider vinegar, perfect for family gatherings and comfort food lovers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold or red potatoes, scrubbed and cut into chunks
  • 4 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 stalks celery, finely chopped
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar (optional)
  • A handful fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place peeled and chopped potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water by about an inch. Add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 12-15 minutes until potatoes are just tender but still hold shape. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
  2. While potatoes cook, place eggs in a separate pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then cover and remove from heat. Let sit for 10 minutes. Run eggs under cold water, peel, and chop roughly into medium pieces.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, sugar (if using), salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  4. Add cooled potatoes to the bowl with dressing. Gently fold to coat without mashing. Add chopped celery, green onions, and eggs. Fold carefully to mix evenly without breaking the eggs too much.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let flavors meld. Before serving, give a gentle stir and sprinkle fresh parsley on top if desired.

Notes

Use waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes to hold shape. Cool potatoes completely before mixing to prevent mayo from separating. Fold gently to keep eggs chunky. Chill at least 1 hour for best flavor. Optional additions include fresh dill, tarragon, or a spicy kick with hot sauce or cayenne. For vegan adaptation, substitute eggs with firm tofu and use vegan mayo.
