Description

This classic creamy potato salad features Yukon gold potatoes, hard-boiled eggs, and a delicious mayonnaise dressing, making it a perfect side dish for any gathering.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ pounds Yukon gold potatoes
  • 6 hard-boiled eggs (chopped, optional)
  • 1 cup diced celery
  • ½ cup sliced radishes
  • 2 green onions (sliced)
  • paprika (for garnish, optional)
  • ¾ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup sweet relish (or dill pickle relish)
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (or yellow mustard)
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • salt and black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Add the potatoes to a large pot of cold salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until fork tender, about 15 minutes. Drain well and cool completely.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, relish, cider vinegar, mustard, sugar, and salt & pepper. Mix well.
  4. Add the cooled potatoes and gently smash a few of them to make the salad creamier. Stir in boiled eggs if using, celery, radishes, and green onions. Mix well to combine.
  5. Refrigerate for at least two hours before serving. Garnish with paprika if desired.

Notes

For an extra creamy texture, mash some of the potatoes more thoroughly.
Feel free to customize with your favorite add-ins like dill or other veggies.
This salad can be made a day in advance for enhanced flavors.
