Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons dill pickle relish
• 1/2 red onion, diced
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Paprika for garnish

Directions

1. First, wash the potatoes and place them in a large pot. Cover with water and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool.
2. Once the potatoes have cooled, peel and chop them into bite-sized pieces.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped potatoes, diced hard-boiled eggs, diced celery, and diced red onion.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, apple cider vinegar, dill pickle relish, salt, and pepper until well combined.
5. Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and gently toss to coat all the ingredients evenly.
6. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
7. Before serving, sprinkle the potato salad with paprika for a pop of color and extra flavor.
8. Serve chilled and enjoy!
