Old-Fashioned Potato Salad
A classic, creamy potato salad perfect for family gatherings and picnics, featuring tender potatoes and rich flavors.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3 lb russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 4 pieces hard-boiled eggs, chopped
- 0.5 cup celery, diced
- 0.25 cup onion, finely diced
- 0.25 cup sweet pickle relish
Dressing Ingredients
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp yellow mustard
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp sugar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tsp paprika for garnish
Instructions
Preparation
- Start by placing the cubed potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring it to a boil and let it cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, around 10-15 minutes. Once done, drain and allow them to cool completely.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled potatoes, chopped eggs, diced celery, diced onion, and sweet pickle relish.
- In a separate small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Drizzle the dressing over the potato mixture and gently fold to incorporate, ensuring all potato pieces are evenly coated. Be delicate to avoid mashing the potatoes.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the potato salad for at least an hour before serving to let the flavors meld together. When ready to serve, sprinkle with paprika for a touch of color and flavor.
