Classic Potato Salad with Boiled Eggs and Paprika

 

Ingredients:

  • 3 lbs potatoes (Yukon Gold or red potatoes work well)
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup yellow mustard
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped dill pickles
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Paprika for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Cook the Potatoes:
    • Peel the potatoes and cut them into bite-sized pieces.
    • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook until they are tender but still hold their shape, about 10-15 minutes.
    • Drain the potatoes and let them cool.
  2. Boil the Eggs:
    • Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water by an inch.
    • Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; then cover, remove from heat, and set aside for 8-10 minutes.
    • Drain, cool in ice water, and peel.
  3. Prepare the Dressing:
    • In a large bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, mustard, chopped pickles, red onion, apple cider vinegar, and fresh dill. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Assemble the Salad:
    • Add the cooled potatoes to the dressing and gently mix until well coated.
    • Slice or chop the boiled eggs and gently fold into the salad.
  5. Garnish and Chill:
    • Sprinkle paprika over the top for color and a hint of spice.
    • Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
  6. Serve:
    • Serve the potato salad chilled, perfect as a side dish for barbecues, picnics, or family gatherings.

Tips:

  • Potato Choice: Using waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes ensures that your salad holds its shape and texture.
  • Customize: Add crispy bacon, green onions, or celery for extra crunch and flavor.
  • Make Ahead: This salad can be made a day ahead, and often tastes better the next day as the flavors have more time to blend.

This Classic Potato Salad is a timeless and beloved dish that never fails to please a crowd, enjoy your cooking!
