Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold or red potatoes, scrubbed and cut into bite-sized chunks
  • 6 large hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional garnishes: paprika, fresh chives or dill

Instructions

  1. Place the 2 pounds of cut Yukon Gold or red potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water by about an inch. Add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 12-15 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender but not mushy.
  2. While the potatoes cook, place 6 large eggs in a separate pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, then cover the pot, remove it from heat, and let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes. Transfer eggs to an ice bath to cool completely.
  3. Drain the potatoes in a colander and rinse with cool water to stop cooking. Let them sit to drain excess water. Peel the cooled eggs and chop roughly into bite-sized pieces.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Whisk together until smooth.
  5. Gently fold the warm potatoes and chopped eggs into the dressing, taking care not to mash the potatoes. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  6. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let flavors meld.
  7. Just before serving, sprinkle with paprika and chopped fresh chives or dill.

Notes

Use room temperature mayonnaise for easier mixing. Avoid overcooking potatoes to prevent sogginess. Peeling eggs under cold running water helps remove shells faster. Chill salad for at least 1 hour for best flavor. Optional garnishes add color and aroma. For a dairy-free version, substitute mayonnaise with avocado-based mayo.
