Mustard Potato Salad
Ingredients
To whip up this delicious mustard potato salad, gather the following ingredients:
- 2 pounds of Yukon Gold potatoes, diced
- 1/2 cup of mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup of Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons of whole grain mustard
- 1/4 cup of finely chopped red onion
- 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh dill
- 3 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
- 1/4 cup of finely chopped celery
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Paprika for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Boil the Potatoes: Start by placing the diced potatoes in a large pot. Cover them with cold water and add a pinch of salt. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender but not mushy. Drain the potatoes and let them cool.
- Prepare the Dressing: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and whole grain mustard. Mix well until you have a smooth and creamy dressing.
- Add the Veggies: To the bowl with the dressing, add the chopped red onion, celery, and dill. Mix everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
- Combine Potatoes and Eggs: Once the potatoes are cooled, add them to the bowl along with the chopped hard-boiled eggs. Gently fold everything together, being careful not to break up the potatoes too much. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Chill and Serve: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together. Before serving, you can sprinkle a bit of paprika on top for a pop of color and extra flavor.
