Potato Salad


INGREDIENTS

  • 3 pounds small red potatoes
  • Kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup salad dressing
  • 1 TBS apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons mustard
  • 3 chopped green onions
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh dill
  • 1/4 cup chopped celery
  • 4 hard boiled egg
  • paprika

DIRECTIONS

Place the potatoes and 2 tablespoons of salt in a large pot of water. Bring the water to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, until the potatoes are barely tender when pierced with a knife. Drain the potatoes in a colander, then place the colander with the potatoes over the empty pot and cover with a clean, dry kitchen towel. Allow the potatoes to steam for 15 to 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, salad dressing, mustard, apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Set aside.
When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them in quarters or in half, depending on their size. Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl. Dice 3 of the hard boiled eggs and add them to the bowl.  Leave one egg to slice and lay on top. While the potatoes are still warm, pour enough dressing over them to moisten. Add the celery and green onion, 2 teaspoons of salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Toss well, cover, and refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to blend. Arrange remaining sliced eggs on top of the salad and sprinkle with paprika.  Serve cold or at room temperature.
