Description

This Classic Creamy Potato Salad brings irresistible flavor with Yukon gold potatoes, diced celery, and tangy mayo. Perfect for potlucks or quick meals!


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. Place potatoes in a large pot of cold salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and cool completely.
  3. In a large bowl, mix the mayonnaise, relish, cider vinegar, mustard, sugar, and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Add cooled potatoes and smash a few for creaminess. Stir in eggs if using, celery, radishes, and green onions. Combine well.
  5. Chill for at least two hours before serving. Garnish with paprika if desired.

Notes

Substitute dill pickle relish for sweet relish for a tangy flavor.
For a healthier option, use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise.
Feel free to add additional vegetables like bell peppers or carrots.
