Ingredients

  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

  1. Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain well.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
  3. Add the cooked potatoes, celery, red bell pepper, green onions, and parsley to the bowl. Gently toss until the vegetables are coated with the dressing.
  4. Using a potato masher or a fork, mash the potatoes until they reach your desired consistency. Some chunks of potato are fine for added texture.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to blend together.
  6. Before serving, give the potato salad a quick stir and adjust the seasoning if needed. Garnish with additional parsley, if desired.
  7. Serve chilled and enjoy!
