Ingredients:
| Ingredients | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Russet potatoes | 3 pounds |
| Mayonnaise | 1 cup |
| Dijon mustard | ¼ cup |
| Apple cider vinegar | 2 teaspoons |
| Sugar | 2 teaspoons |
| Sweet pickles, diced | ½ cup |
| Celery, chopped | 1 stalk |
| Vidalia onion, chopped | 1 medium |
| Hard-boiled eggs, chopped | 4 large |
Instructions:
- Prepare the potatoes: Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly and peel if desired. Cut the potatoes into bite-sized cubes and place them in a large pot. Cover with water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to simmer and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 10-15 minutes.
- Make the dressing: In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and sugar. Whisk together until smooth and well incorporated.
- Assemble the salad: Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and allow them to cool slightly. In a large serving bowl, combine the cooked potatoes, diced sweet pickles, chopped celery, chopped onion, and hard-boiled eggs.
- Add the dressing: Pour the prepared dressing over the potato mixture and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.
- Chill and serve: Cover the potato salad with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled and enjoy!
