Instructions
Preparation Steps
Place the quartered potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender. Drain well.
While the potatoes are still warm, transfer them to a large bowl. Gently mash them slightly with a fork or potato masher.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
Add the chopped celery and red onion to the bowl with the potatoes. Pour the mayonnaise mixture over the potatoes and gently stir until everything is well combined.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
This potato salad is best served chilled. You can add hard-boiled eggs or pickles for extra flavor.
