The Ultimate RED POTATO SALAD Recipe: A Family Favorite

RED POTATO SALAD

A classic, creamy red potato salad with tender potatoes, crisp vegetables, and a tangy dressing. Perfect for picnics, BBQs, or as a hearty side dish!

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

  1. 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.
  2. Make Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, gently mix the warm potatoes, chopped eggs, celery, red onion, dill, and parsley.
  4. Add Dressing: Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and fold gently until well coated.
  5. Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight) to allow flavors to meld.
  6. 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.
