Instructions

Boil the Potatoes:

Cook the Potatoes: Start by placing the peeled and cut potatoes in a large pot. Cover them with water and add a pinch of salt. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer for about 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Drain and Cool: Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them in a colander and allow them to cool slightly. You can speed up the cooling process by spreading the potatoes out on a baking sheet or large plate.

Prepare the Dressing:

Mix the Dressing: While the potatoes are cooling, prepare the dressing in a large bowl. Combine the mayonnaise, yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, pickle relish, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well until all the ingredients are fully combined and smooth.

Assemble the Salad:

Combine the Ingredients: Once the potatoes have cooled enough to handle, cut them into bite-sized pieces (if you haven’t already). Add them to the bowl with the dressing.
Add the Extras: Stir in the chopped hard-boiled eggs, celery, and onion. Gently fold everything together to ensure the potatoes are evenly coated with the creamy dressing.

Chill and Serve:

Refrigerate: For the best flavor, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the potato salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. If possible, chill for a few hours or even overnight.
Garnish and Serve: Before serving, garnish the potato salad with freshly chopped parsley and a sprinkle of paprika, if desired. Serve chilled as a refreshing and indulgent side dish.
