Easy Red Potato Salad

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs red potatoes, washed and cut into bite-sized pieces
• 3 hard-boiled eggs, chopped (optional)
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup sour cream (optional, for extra creaminess)
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar or white vinegar
• 1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Paprika (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Cook the Potatoes:

• Place the cut potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water.
• Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
• Cook the potatoes for 10-12 minutes, or until they are tender but not mushy. You should be able to pierce them easily with a fork.
• Drain the potatoes and allow them to cool slightly.

1. Prepare the Dressing:

• In a large bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream (if using), Dijon mustard, vinegar, fresh dill, salt, and pepper. Adjust the seasoning to taste.

1. Assemble the Salad:

• Add the cooked potatoes, celery, red onion, and chopped hard-boiled eggs (if using) to the bowl with the dressing.
• Gently toss everything together until the potatoes are well coated in the dressing.

1. Chill:

• Cover and refrigerate the potato salad for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.

1. Serve:

• Just before serving, garnish with a sprinkle of paprika and a little extra dill if desired.

This Easy Red Potato Salad is creamy, flavorful, and has a nice crunch from the celery and onions. It’s the perfect complement to grilled meats or sandwiches!
