Description

A classic and creamy mustard potato salad made with tender potatoes, tangy mustard, and a blend of savory ingredients, perfect for any gathering or BBQ.


Ingredients

  • 2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped red onion
  • 2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
  • 1/4 cup chopped celery
  • 1/4 cup chopped dill pickle (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)


Instructions

  1. In a large pot, boil the cubed potatoes in salted water until tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, yellow mustard, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Once the potatoes have cooled, combine them with the dressing mixture in a large mixing bowl.
  4. Add the chopped red onion, hard-boiled eggs, celery, and optional dill pickle. Gently fold everything together until well coated.
  5. Cover the potato salad and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
  6. Before serving, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.

Notes

  • You can adjust the mustard levels according to your preference for tanginess.
  • If you want a smoother texture, you can mash a portion of the potatoes before mixing.
  • For a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt for some or all of the mayonnaise.
