This creamy and flavorful potato salad is the perfect side dish for your next barbecue or picnic. Made with tender potatoes, crunchy vegetables, and a tangy dressing, it's a crowd-pleasing dish that will be the highlight of any meal. With just a few simple ingredients, you can whip up this classic American favorite in no time.

Ingredients

  • 4 large potatoes
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup diced celery
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Start by boiling the potatoes: 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 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool.
  2. Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel and chop them into small cubes.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, celery, red onion, and parsley. Mix well until the dressing is smooth and creamy.
  4. Add the chopped potatoes to the bowl and gently toss to coat them evenly with the dressing.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If desired, you can also add other seasonings like paprika or dill for extra flavor.
  6. Refrigerate the potato salad for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
  7. Serve chilled and enjoy!
