Classic Creamy Potato Salad ### Ingredients

2 pounds of potatoes (Yukon Gold or red potatoes work well)
1 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 cup celery, diced
1/2 cup red onion, diced
1/2 cup pickles, diced (or relish to taste)
2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Start by boiling the potatoes. Wash and peel them, if desired. Cut the potatoes into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and let them simmer for about 10-15 minutes or until tender but not falling apart. Drain and let cool.
In a separate bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and pepper. Adjust the seasonings to taste, ensuring the dressing has a balanced flavor.
Once the potatoes are cooled, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Add the diced celery, red onion, pickles, and hard-boiled eggs (if using) to the bowl with the potatoes.
Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and gently fold everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated. Be careful not to break the potatoes while mixing.
Cover the salad and refrigerate it for at least one hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Just before serving, garnish with fresh parsley for an added touch of color and freshness.

This creamy potato salad is not only rich in flavor but also provides a delightful complement to grilled meats and sandwiches. Enjoy it chilled and watch as it becomes the star of your summer gatherings!
