Ingredients
Salad
- 1½ lb yellow potatoes
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- ½ yellow onion
- 1 stalk celery
- 2 boiled eggs
Sauce
- ½ cup mayo
- 2 Tbs prepared mustard
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 Tbs black pepper
- 1 tsp salt
Directions
- Cut potatoes into ¼-inch pieces.
- Boil in heavily salted water until tender (about 5 minutes once the water comes to a boil).
- Drain potatoes and rinse lightly with cold water so you don’t end up with mashed potatoes. While still in the colander, splash with the vinegar.
- Add potatoes to a large bowl.
- Chop the onion and celery into ⅛-inch to ¼-inch pieces and add to the potatoes.
- Chop the eggs, season with a little salt and pepper, then add to the potatoes.
- In a small bowl, combine the sauce ingredients. Taste the sauce and adjust seasonings if you like.
- Stir the sauce into the potatoes and refrigerate 3 hours to overnight.
- If the potato salad seems dry, make a smaller amount of the same sauce in a separate bowl, then stir it in.
