Instructions
- Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold, heavily salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain immediately and let them cool slightly on a large baking sheet.
- While potatoes are cooking, prepare the dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper until smooth and fully combined.
- In a very large bowl, combine the slightly warm (not hot) potatoes, chopped hard-boiled eggs, celery, and red onion.
- Pour about two-thirds of the dressing over the potato mixture. Gently fold everything together using a rubber spatula, being careful not to mash the potatoes too much. Add more dressing as needed until the salad reaches your desired creaminess.
- Stir in the sweet pickle relish. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if necessary.
- Cover the potato salad and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives before serving.
Notes
For a richer Southern flavor, a small amount of yellow mustard is key. Letting the potatoes cool slightly before dressing ensures the dressing incorporates better without melting completely. This salad is best served chilled.
