  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill chopped
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into 1-inch cubes. Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold, salted water.
Cooking
  1. Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes until they are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain the potatoes and let them cool completely.
Making the Dressing
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Add the chopped celery, red onion, and fresh dill to the dressing and mix well.
Combining and Chilling
  1. Gently fold the cooled potatoes into the dressing, ensuring all potatoes are evenly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the potato salad for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Notes

For the best flavor, use high-quality mayonnaise and fresh herbs. Adjust salt and pepper to your taste. For an extra tang, add a splash more apple cider vinegar.
