A quick and creamy potato salad made with just five simple ingredients, perfect for summer BBQs and gatherings. This recipe is fuss-free, flavorful, and a crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold or red potatoes
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 3–4 green onions, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, finely chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash 2 pounds of Yukon Gold or red potatoes thoroughly. Leave the skins on and cut into roughly 1-inch chunks.
  2. Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold water by about an inch. Add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until fork-tender but not falling apart, about 12-15 minutes. Drain well and let cool slightly.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine ½ cup mayonnaise and 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard. Stir until smooth. Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  4. Chop 3-4 green onions and 2 celery stalks finely. Toss these into the dressing mixture.
  5. Gently fold the slightly warm potatoes into the dressing mixture using a spatula to coat evenly without mashing.
  6. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably 2-3 hours, before serving.

Notes

Do not overcook the potatoes to avoid mushy texture. Keep skins on for texture and nutrients. Use room temperature mayo and mustard for smoother dressing. Adjust salt after chilling. Can substitute mayo with Greek yogurt or vegan mayo for lighter or dairy-free options. Chill for best flavor.
