Instructions

Boil the Potatoes

Prepare the Dressing
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cider vinegar, prepared mustard, sugar, and water. Whisk everything together until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is well blended.
Mix in the Onion and Parsley
Add the finely chopped onion and parsley to the dressing. Stir everything together to allow the onion to absorb some of the dressing’s flavors, which helps to soften the onion’s sharpness.
Add the Potatoes
Once the potatoes have cooled slightly, slice them into bite-sized pieces and add them to the bowl with the dressing mixture. Gently toss the potatoes with the dressing, making sure each piece is coated evenly.
Chill and Serve
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully, resulting in a delicious, tangy potato salad. Serve chilled and enjoy!
