If you're looking for a classic, crowd-pleasing side dish for your next summer barbecue or picnic, look no further than this delicious potato salad recipe. Made with simple, fresh ingredients, this dish is sure to be a hit with guests of all ages.
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds red potatoes, washed and diced
- 4 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
- 1/2 cup diced celery
- 1/4 cup diced red onion
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
To start, place the diced potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly.
While the potatoes are cooking, chop the hard-boiled eggs, celery, and red onion and combine them in a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, add them to the mixing bowl with the egg, celery, and onion. Pour the dressing over the top and gently toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
When you're ready to serve, give the potato salad a quick stir and adjust the seasoning as needed. Enjoy!
