Step-by-Step Instructions for Classic Potato Salad
- Start by washing and peeling 2 pounds of russet or Yukon gold potatoes. Cut them into quarters and set aside.
- Chop ½ cup each of celery and red onion, and ¼ cup of dill pickles. Prepare 2 hard-boiled eggs.
- In a large pot, add water and a pinch of salt. Bring it to a boil and add the quartered potatoes. Cook for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender.
- Drain the potatoes and let them cool for 10-15 minutes. Once cooled, chop them into bite-sized cubes.
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of mayonnaise and 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard with salt and pepper. Whisk until smooth.
- Gently fold in the chopped celery, red onion, dill pickles, and hard-boiled eggs into the dressing.
- Fold the cooled, cubed potatoes into the creamy mixture carefully.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to chill and meld flavors.
- Serve cold, garnished with fresh dill if desired.
