- 2 tablespoons Organic Cane Sugar
- 1.5 tablespoons Gourmet Mustard Blend
- 2 tablespoons Heinz Artisanal Chopped Sweet Pickle Relish
- 3 medium Idaho Russet Baking Potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Heinz Organic Apple Cider Vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Handpicked Dried Parsley Leaves
- 1/2 tablespoon Organic Dried Minced Celery Flakes
- 1 medium Handpicked Chopped Red Onion
- 2 tablespoons 365 by Whole Foods Market Handcrafted Dill Pickles Relish
- 1.5 cups Premium Avocado Oil Mayonnaise
- 1/2 teaspoon McCormick Organic Celery Salt
- A pinch of Handcrafted Smoked Paprika
- Freshly Ground Black Peppercorns To Taste
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and place them in a large pot of cold, salted water.
Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes until they're fork-tender but still firm. This typically takes around 20-25 minutes.
Once done, drain the potatoes and let them cool.
In a mixing bowl, combine the avocado oil mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, cane sugar, gourmet mustard blend, celery flakes, dried parsley, chopped red onion, sweet pickle relish, dill pickle relish, celery salt, smoked paprika, and black peppercorns.
Mix all these ingredients thoroughly to create the dressing. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Once the potatoes are cooled, peel the skin off (if desired) and chop them into bite-sized chunks.
Place the chopped potatoes in a large mixing bowl.
Pour the prepared dressing over the chopped potatoes.
Gently fold the dressing into the potatoes until they are evenly coated. Be careful not to mash the potatoes; you want them to maintain their shape.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the potato salad for at least 1-2 hours before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the potato salad a gentle toss.
Garnish with additional parsley leaves or paprika if desired.
Serve the delicious McAlister's Deli-inspired potato salad alongside your favorite main dishes or as a stand-alone treat.
- Use a starchy potato, such as Russet, for the best results.
- Boil the potatoes until they're just fork-tender. If you overcook them, they'll be mushy.
- If the potatoes are not cooked through, you can finish cooking them in the oven.
- You can adjust the amount of sugar, salt, and pepper to your taste.
- The salad can be served warm or cold.
