Ingredients
  

  • 8 red skin potatoes washed
  • 4 eggs
  • 3 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 3 ribs celery chopped
  • 2 dill pickle spears* finely chopped
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon whole grain mustard
  • ½ cup red onion finely chopped
  • ½ teaspoon dill seed
  • 3 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon yellow mustard
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Wash the potatoes thoroughly. Place whole potatoes into a large pot and cover with an inch of water. Bring the pot to a rolling boil and cook for 30-40 minutes. You want to slightly overcook the potatoes so that they are firm in the center and very soft around the outside.
  • Prep a bowl with one cup of water and a half cup ice. In a smaller pot, add the white vinegar and eggs. Cover the eggs with an inch of water and bring to a boil, then cover and remove from the heat. Let the eggs continue to cook for another 8-10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the eggs to the ice bath to cool. Peel the eggs and chop finely.
  • Drain the potatoes. While they are still hot, use a sharp knife to cut into quarters. Place the chopped potatoes into a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • While the potatoes are still steaming, add the chopped celery, pickles and red onion. Stir lightly.
  • Then add the apple cider vinegar, mayonnaise, whole grain mustard, dill seed, smoked paprika and yellow mustard. Add two tablespoons of fresh parsley and the chopped eggs. Fold together.
  • Chill the potato salad for at least two hours. The flavors will continue to develop as it chills. Garnish with the remaining parsley. Serve as a side at your next summer cook-out or barbecue. Enjoy!
