Ingredients:
- 3 lbs Yukon Gold, Russet, or Red Potatoes (peeled and cut into bite-sized cubes)
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- ¼ cup sweet pickle relish
- 4 hard-boiled eggs (peeled and chopped)
- 2 ribs celery (chopped)
- ⅓ cup chopped green onions
- Kosher salt (to taste)
- Fresh ground black pepper (to taste)

Instructions:
1. Prepare the Potatoes:Start by placing the cubed potatoes in a large pot. Cover them with cold water, then bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook the potatoes for 10-15 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. Drain the potatoes using a colander and allow them to cool slightly.
2. Mix the Dressing: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, yellow mustard, and apple cider vinegar until smooth. Stir in the sweet pickle relish, chopped hard-boiled eggs, celery, and green onions.
3. Combine and Season:Gently fold the cooled potatoes into the dressing mixture, ensuring everything is evenly coated. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
4. Garnish and Serve: Transfer the potato salad to a serving dish, and sprinkle paprika on top for a colorful garnish. Enjoy your homemade Southern-style potato salad!
