SOUTHERN POTATO SALAD

Here’s a classic Southern Potato Salad recipe for you:

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds (900g) Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, peeled and diced
• 4 large eggs, hard-boiled and chopped
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup yellow mustard
• 1/4 cup sweet pickle relish
• 1/2 cup celery, finely diced
• 1/4 cup onion, finely diced
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Paprika for garnish (optional)
• Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Cook the potatoes: Place the peeled and diced potatoes in a large pot. Cover with cold water, add a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are tender but not mushy, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and let them cool.
2. Prepare the dressing: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, yellow mustard, sweet pickle relish, apple cider vinegar, and sugar. Stir until smooth and well-mixed.
3. Add the mix-ins: Add the chopped hard-boiled eggs, diced celery, and onion to the bowl. Gently mix until everything is combined.
4. Add the potatoes: Gently fold the cooled potatoes into the dressing mixture. Stir carefully to avoid mashing the potatoes.
5. Season: Taste and season with salt and pepper to your liking. You can also add more mustard or relish if you want a tangier flavor.
6. Chill: Cover the potato salad and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld.
7. Garnish: Before serving, garnish with a sprinkle of paprika and fresh parsley if desired.
