Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold)
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons mustard (Dijon or yellow)
  • 1 small red onion, diced
  • 3-4 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • Fresh herbs (like dill or parsley), optional

Instructions

  1. Start by peeling and cutting the potatoes into bite-sized cubes.

  3. Drain the potatoes and let them cool for about 10 minutes.
  4. In a bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper.
  5. Add the cooled potatoes, diced red onion, and chopped celery to the dressing, combining gently until everything is well-coated.
  6. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
  7. Before serving, taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

Use waxy potatoes for a creamier texture. Can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days.
