ingredients

• 3 lbs yukon gold potatoes, Russet potatoes (cut into 3/4 inch cubes) or 3 lbs red potatoes (cut into 3/4 inch cubes)
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 1⁄4 cups mayonnaise
• 1⁄3 cup dill pickle relish

directions

1. Place the diced potatoes in a large stockpot and add enough water so the potatoes are covered by an inch.

3. Drain the potatoes in a colander. Then return the potatoes to the stockpot, drizzle evenly with the vinegar, and let the potatoes rest for 20 to 30 minutes or until cool enough to handle.
4. Meanwhile, whisk together the mayo, celery, salt, mustard, and pickle relish in a medium bowl until evenly combined.
5. Once the potatoes are ready to go, add in the mayo mixture, diced eggs, celery, and onion. Toss gently until evenly combined.
6. Taste and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Feel free to add in a tablespoon or two of pickle juice if you like.
7. Transfer the potato salad to a serving bowl, cover, and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours to chil.
8. Serve chilled or refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 3 days.
