Dijon Potato Salad

Crowd-Pleasing Dijon Potato Salad will be the first thing to disappear from the picnic table this summer.

It's cool, creamy, and refreshing with just the right amount of tang from the Dijon, and the perfect amount of crunch to balance all that creaminess.

I always gravitate to the potato salad when it comes to a picnic or BBQ.

There is something about a perfectly cooked potato mixed with a creamy sauce that gets me every time. I mean EVERY time...and this creamy Dijon Potato Salad is no exception!

Can Dijon Potato Salad be made in advance?

YES!! I recommend it!

Making this dijon potato salad in advance and keeping it in the fridge for at least 4 hours (longer is even better) before serving, will give the flavors a chance to marry and intensify.

How long will this potato salad keep in the refrigerator?

As long as it is kept in a covered air-tight container in the refrigerator, this potato salad will keep for up to 6 days.

Can this potato salad be frozen?

I don't recommend it as it could change the consistency of the potatoes (once thawed) and they may become mushy.

You may also run the risk that the mayonnaise could break (once thawed), and become an oily mess.

It's just not worth the risk.

The step-by-step directions for making Dijon Potato Salad:

• Chop the washed golden potatoes into approximate ½" pieces.
• Bring them to a boil in salted water until fork-tender. (approximately 15 minutes).
• Drain.

• While the potatoes are cooking, dice the onion, celery, bread and butter pickles, hard-boiled eggs, and celery leaves.

• Add the cooked potatoes to a large bowl along with the chopped onion, celery, and pickles.
• Stir gently to combine.

• In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard.
• Add the mustard mixture to the bowl with the potatoes and stir gently to combine.

• Top the salad with the chopped eggs and celery leaves and chill at least 4 hours before serving.
