Ingredients for Creamy Mustard Potato Salad

Russet potatoes are the base, providing a fluffy texture that soaks up the creamy dressing. Mayonnaise adds richness, while Dijon mustard brings a zesty kick. Apple cider vinegar cuts through the creaminess with a touch of acidity, and honey balances it all with subtle sweetness. Celery and green onions add a fresh crunch, while dill infuses an aromatic freshness. Finally, hard-boiled eggs contribute extra creaminess and a touch of protein.

Tips & Tricks

  • Use warm potatoes to help the dressing absorb better.
  • Chill the salad for at least an hour – it tastes even better after the flavors mingle.
  • Use a gentle folding motion to avoid mashing the potatoes.

Serving Suggestions

This potato salad is fantastic alongside grilled meats like chicken or steak. It makes a great side for a BBQ or picnic. For a lighter meal, pair it with a fresh green salad and crusty bread.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this salad ahead of time?

Dried dill can work in a pinch, just use about a teaspoon.

Creamy Mustard Potato Salad Recipe Walkthrough

Start by boiling your russet potatoes. Place them in a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring them to a boil, then lower the heat and let them simmer until fork-tender, about 20 minutes. Once they’re done, drain them and let them cool slightly. While they’re cooling, you can gather and prep the rest of your ingredients.

Peel the cooled potatoes and cut them into bite-sized pieces. This is the perfect time to make your dressing. In a large mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, honey, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Make sure everything is well blended before adding the potatoes.

Toss the warm potatoes gently in the dressing to ensure they’re evenly coated. Now, it’s time to add the crunch! Mix in the celery, green onions, and dill. Gently fold in the chopped hard-boiled eggs. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Once everything is well combined, cover the bowl and chill it in the refrigerator for at least an hour to let the flavors meld.
