Ingredients
- 2 ½ pounds Yukon gold potatoes or red potatoes
- 6 hard-boiled eggs chopped (optional)
- 1 cup diced celery
- ½ cup sliced radishes
- 2 green onions sliced
- paprika for garnish, optional
Dressing
- 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
- Peel the potatoes and cut them potatoes into bite sized pieces.
- 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.
- In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, relish, cider vinegar, mustard, sugar, and salt & pepper. Mix well.
- 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.
- Refrigerate for at least two hours before serving. Garnish with paprika if desired.
Notes
- Potatoes for Potato Salad: Red potatoes or Yukon gold potatoes are our top pick for potato salad. They have thinner skins and hold their shape well. Russet potatoes have a grainy texture and tend to fall apart, but they do work if it's all you have. Peel the potatoes if using russets or baking potatoes.
- Cook potatoes just until fork tender. Don't overcook or they can absorb water and become mushy.
- Thin-skinned or baby potatoes do not have to be peeled or can easily be peeled after boiling.
- Potatoes should be cooled before adding the dressing.
- Dress the salad generously as the potatoes absorb the dressing.
- Be sure to refrigerate the potato salad for a couple of hours before serving to blend flavors and allow the dressing to absorb.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 4 days.
