Instructions

  1. Prepare the potatoes
    Place the potato cubes in a large pot and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Add 1 tablespoon of salt to the water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender but not falling apart, about 12-15 minutes.
  2. Cool the potatoes
    Drain the potatoes in a colander and let them cool completely, about 20 minutes. For faster cooling, spread them on a baking sheet. This prevents the mayo from breaking down when mixed with hot potatoes.
  3. Prepare the dressing
    In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, sweet pickle relish, celery salt, paprika, black pepper, and garlic powder until smooth and well combined.
  4. Combine ingredients
    Add the cooled potatoes, chopped hard-boiled eggs, diced celery, red onion, and parsley to the bowl with the dressing. Gently fold everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated, being careful not to mash the potatoes.
  5. Chill and serve
    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow the flavors to meld. Before serving, taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Sprinkle with additional paprika for garnish.
