Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 lbs Potatoes
  • 1 cup Mayonnaise
  • 2 stalks Celery finely chopped
  • 0.25 cup Red Onion finely diced

  • 1 tbsp White Vinegar
  • 1 tsp Sugar
  • 0.5 tsp Salt
  • 0.25 tsp Black Pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into 1-inch cubes.
  2. Place the potato cubes in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Making the Dressing
  1. While the potatoes are cooking, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Stir in the chopped celery, red onion, and fresh dill.
Assembly
  1. Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them well and let them cool slightly. Gently fold the warm potatoes into the dressing, ensuring all pieces are coated.
  2. Cover the potato salad and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Notes

For an extra touch of flavor, try adding a tablespoon of pickle relish or a pinch of smoked paprika to the dressing.
