The potato salad is made with potatoes (Yukon Gold are perfect but you can use russet potatoes, red potatoes or white potatoes), hardboiled eggs, onion and celery. A simple four-ingredient dressing of mayonnaise, mustard, seasoned salt and apple cider vinegar is mixed into the potatoes to create the perfect potato salad.
