Ingredients:(Wow, that's a ton of stuff!) 2 pounds of potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet) 3-4 large eggs 1 cup mayonnaise 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar 1 teaspoon sugar 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion 1/2 cup finely chopped celery 1/4 cup chopped pickles or relish 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional) Paprika for garnish (optional) Instructions: Boil the Potatoes: Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into bite-sized chunks. Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until the potatoes are tender but still firm, about 10-15 minutes. Drain the potatoes and set them aside to cool.
Boil the Eggs:
Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, remove the pan from heat and cover with a lid. Let it sit for 12 minutes.
Drain the hot water and place the eggs in ice water to cool. Peel and chop the eggs.
Prepare the Dressing:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth.
Mix the Salad:
Add the cooled potatoes, chopped eggs, red onion, celery, and pickles (or relish) to the bowl with the dressing. Gently toss to combine, ensuring everything is well-coated. If desired, add chopped fresh parsley for extra flavor and color.
Chill and Serve:
Cover the potato salad and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. Before serving, sprinkle with paprika for garnish, if desired.
