Picnic Potato Salad

Potato salad is a summer classic. I recommend making it the night before and letting it rest in the refrigerator before serving.

First, you’ll need to prep your potatoes. You’ll need about 2.5 lbs of potatoes. I would recommend red-skinned potatoes for this purpose.

Rinse and peel the potatoes and then cut them into bite-sized cubes. Place them in a pot of lightly salted water and simmer until you can insert a fork into one easily, but before they break when pierced – about 20 minutes in my experience. Drain, rinse, drain again, and set them aside to cool to room temperature or below.

Meanwhile, blend the following:

  • 4 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp horseradish mustard
  • 1 tbsp vinegar (rice or apple cider are my preference)
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 2 tsp dill
  • 2 tsp celery seed
  • Salt to taste

Once the potatoes are cool, toss them in the mixture until thoroughly coated. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve, preferably a few hours to overnight.
