Ingredients
Scale
2 lbs red potatoes, washed and cubed
3 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup celery, finely diced
1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped (or 1 tsp dried dill)
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 tsp salt (or to taste)
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Cook Potatoes: Place cubed potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 10-12 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain and let cool slightly.
Make Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper.
Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, gently mix the warm potatoes, chopped eggs, celery, red onion, dill, and parsley.
Add Dressing: Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and fold gently until well coated.
Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight) to allow flavors to meld.
Serve: Garnish with extra parsley and a sprinkle of paprika before serving.
Notes
For best texture, don’t overcook the potatoes—they should hold their shape when mixed.
For a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt for half the mayonnaise.
Add-ins like crispy bacon, pickles, or green onions work great for extra flavor.
