How to Make Ann S German Potato Salad

  1. Boil 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cubed, in salted water until tender (about 15-20 minutes). Drain well and set aside to cool slightly.
  2. While potatoes cook, prepare the dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons yellow mustard, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 teaspoon celery seed, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Once potatoes are cool enough to handle, add them to the dressing. Gently toss to coat.
  4. Add 1/2 cup finely diced red onion, 1/2 cup chopped celery, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley. Gently mix.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more salt, pepper, vinegar, or sugar to your liking.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
