Ingredients

3 lbs Yukon Gold Russet, or Red Potatoes peeled and cut into bite size cubes
1 cup mayonnaise I prefer Dukes
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
¼ cup sweet pickle relish
4 hardboiled eggs peeled and chopped
2 ribs celery chopped
⅓ cup chopped green onions
kosher salt to taste
fresh ground black pepper to taste
Paprika for garnish

Instructions

Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Bring them to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for 10-15 minutes or until fork tender. Drain them in a colander and let them cool a bit.
In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, yellow mustard, and apple cider vinegar. Add the pickle relish, hard-boiled eggs, celery, green onions, and drained potatoes. Gently fold the veggies and eggs into the dressing.
Season with salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste. Garnish with a sprinkle of paprika.
