Description

A creamy, tangy Southern Potato Salad that’s perfect for gatherings and evokes heartfelt memories.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 lbs Yukon Gold Potatoes, peeled and cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1 cup Mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Yellow Mustard
  • 2 teaspoons Apple Cider Vinegar
  • ¼ cup Sweet Pickle Relish
  • 4 Hardboiled Eggs, peeled and chopped
  • 2 ribs Celery, chopped
  • ⅓ cup Green Onions, chopped
  • Kosher Salt, to taste
  • Fresh Ground Black Pepper, to taste
  • Paprika, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Boil the Potatoes: Start by putting those bite-sized Yukon Gold potatoes into a large pot filled with cold, salted water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until a fork easily pierces them. Drain and cool slightly.
  2. Prepare the Dressing: In a separate bowl, combine the mayonnaise, yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, and sweet pickle relish. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
  3. Chop the Veggies and Eggs: While the potatoes cool, chop the celery and green onions, and peel and chop those hardboiled eggs.
  4. Combine Everything: Transfer the cooled potatoes to a large mixing bowl. Add the chopped celery, green onions, and hardboiled eggs. Pour the dressing over and gently fold together.
  5. Season to Taste: Sprinkle in salt and pepper. Mix gently and taste for adjustments.
  6. Chill and Serve: Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour to meld flavors. Before serving, stir and garnish with paprika.
