Instructions

1. Start by peeling the potatoes and cutting them into small cubes. Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Bring the pot to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

2. Meanwhile, prepare the dressing by combining mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white balsamic vinegar, and sugar in a small bowl. Stir to combine, then set aside.

3. Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly. In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, celery, and onion. Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and stir to combine.

4. Place the potato salad in the refrigerator to chill for at least an hour before serving. To serve, garnish with parsley or chives.

Tips

For an extra tangy flavor, try adding a small amount of pickle juice to the dressing. You can also try adding some diced bell peppers or sweet pickles to the salad for an added crunch. For a dairy-free option, substitute vegan mayonnaise for the regular mayonnaise.
