Classic Potato Salad Recipe

Ingredients

• 5 pounds red potatoes, chopped
• 3 cups mayonnaise
• 2 cups finely chopped pickles
• 5 large hard-cooked eggs, chopped
• 0.5 cup chopped red onion
• 0.5 cup chopped celery
• 3 tablespoons prepared mustard
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

1. Assemble all of your ingredients.
2. Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover them with salted water, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the potatoes are tender, approximately 10 minutes. Drain the water. Return the potatoes to the empty pot to dry and cool slightly.
3. In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, chopped pickles, diced hard-cooked eggs, finely chopped red onion, diced celery, mustard, and cider vinegar. Season generously with salt and pepper to your liking.
4. Gently fold the cooled potatoes into the dressing mixture until everything is thoroughly combined.
5. For optimal flavor, refrigerate the potato salad until it's thoroughly chilled, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully develop and meld together.
6. Serve and enjoy this classic side dish!
