Main Ingredients

  • 0.5 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 0.25 cup celery finely chopped

Preparation Steps

  • Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain the potatoes thoroughly.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the dressing. In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard until smooth.
  • Add the chopped celery, red onion, hard-boiled eggs, and fresh parsley to the bowl with the dressing. Stir to combine.
  • Gently fold in the drained, warm potatoes into the dressing mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Cover the potato salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Notes

For a tangier flavor, add a tablespoon of pickle relish. You can also add cooked bacon bits for extra flavor.
