This creamy and delicious Dairy-Free Potato Salad will have everyone coming back for seconds! Made with tender potatoes, a flavorful dressing, and fresh ingredients, this easy side dish is perfect for BBQs, picnics, and family gatherings.
Wash and cut potatoes into large chunks (roughly 1-2 inch cubes) and place them in a large pot filled with cold water and a pinch of sea salt. Boil the potatoes until they are fork tender, which will take roughly 20-30 minutes.
3 lbs Yukon Gold Potatoes
While the potatoes are boiling, make the dressing by combining the apple cider vinegar, mayonnaise, mustard, dill, chives, salt, pepper and paprika in a large bowl. Chop the celery and red onion and set aside.
¼ cup Apple Cider Vinegar, ¾ cup Mayonnaise, 2 tablespoon Dijon Mustard, 2 tablespoon Dill, 2 tablespoon Chives, ½ teaspoon Sea Salt, ½ teaspoon Pepper, ¼ teaspoon Paprika
Once the potatoes are done (they should be very soft, and breakable with a fork, but not completely mushy) drain well, and allow them to cool slightly. Once they have cooled for a few minutes, add the cooked potatoes to the creamy dressing and gently toss to combine. If you enjoy a creamier potato salad, you can break up more of the potatoes with a fork.
Add in the celery and red onion and gently toss again to combine. Top with additional dill, chives and paprika. Allow to cool at room temperature, then cover and place in the fridge for 4 hours to overnight.
½ cup Celery, ¼ cup Red Onion

Expert Tips And Notes
Use Waxy Potatoes: I have found that using a waxy potato like Yukon Gold or red potatoes works best as they provide a creamier texture.
Chill Before Serving: I recommend that you chill the potato salad for at least 4 hours to allow the flavors to develop, then taste and adjust seasonings again if needed.
Extra Creamy: If you like your potato salad extra creamy, feel free to mash up a few potatoes with a fork when you combine the potatoes and the dressing.
