World’s Best Potato Salad is a creamy, tangy, and perfectly seasoned classic made with tender boiled potatoes, mayonnaise, mustard, chopped celery, onions, and hard-boiled eggs. The ingredients are combined to create a rich and satisfying texture, with just the right balance of crunch and creaminess. Often served chilled, it’s a must-have at picnics, barbecues, and holiday gatherings. This timeless favorite lives up to its name by delivering comfort and flavor in every bite.

Ingredients

3 lbs (1.4 kg) Yukon Gold or red potatoes
1 cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt, plus more for boiling
½ tsp black pepper
½ cup celery, finely chopped
½ cup dill pickles, finely chopped
4 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
¼ cup red onion, finely chopped
2 tbsp chopped fresh dill or parsley (optional)

Directions

Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat and simmer 12–15 minutes, until just tender when pierced with a knife.
Drain potatoes and let cool slightly. While still warm, cut into bite-sized chunks and place in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Pour dressing over warm potatoes and gently toss to coat.
Fold in celery, pickles, red onion, and chopped eggs.
Sprinkle with fresh herbs if using. Cover and chill at least 1 hour before serving.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Notes

For extra tang, add a splash of pickle juice to the dressing.
This salad keeps well in the fridge up to 3 days.
If you prefer a lighter version, replace half the mayo with plain Greek yogurt.
