Ingredients
3 pounds Yukon Gold Potatoes
6 Large Pasture-Raised Eggs
1 cup Avocado Oil Mayonnaise or Plain Greek Yogurt
2 tablespoons Dijon Mustard
1 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
1 cup Finely Diced Celery
1/2 cup Diced Red Onio
1/4 cup Fresh Parsley or Dill
Sea Salt and Freshly Cracked Black Pepper
Instructions
- Wash the Yukon Gold potatoes thoroughly and place them in a large pot with cold filtered water and sea salt. Boil and then simmer for 15-20 minutes until easily pierced with a fork
- In a separate saucepan, hard-boil the eggs by covering them with water, bringing to a boil, then turning off heat and letting them sit covered for 10 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath
- Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel if desired and dice into 3/4-inch cubes. Chop the hard-boiled eggs, reserving one or two yolks if desired
- Sprinkle apple cider vinegar over the warm potato cubes to absorb the acid
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayo (or yogurt), Dijon mustard, sea salt, and black pepper. Mash in reserved egg yolks if using
- Add the diced celery, red onion, and fresh herbs to the potatoes. Pour the dressing over and gently fold together without mashing the potatoes
- Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours for the flavors to meld
Notes
For a lighter version, substitute half of the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
If following a plant-based lifestyle, omit the eggs and use vegan mayo.
Start cooking in cold water for even potato cooking and avoid boiled water for eggs to prevent rubberiness.
