How to Make Henton’s Potato Salad

Step 1:

Put the potato pieces ( I love small pieces) in a big pot of salty water. Heat it until it bubbles, then let it cook for about 10-15 minutes until the potatoes feel soft when poked with a fork. Pour out the water and let the potatoes cool down.

Step 2:

Mix the mayonnaise, mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper in a bowl until it’s all smooth.

Step 3:

In a big bowl, put the cooked potatoes, celery, and onion together. Pour the sauce over them and gently mix so everything gets coated nicely.

Step 4:

Cover the bowl and put it in the fridge for at least an hour. This helps the flavors mix very well. When you’re ready to eat, you can add some chopped parsley on top if you like. Enjoy.

Tips

• Try to cut the potatoes into small pieces so they cook faster. Make sure they’re all about the same size so they cook evenly.
• Use a big spoon or spatula to gently mix the salad so you don’t squish the potatoes too much. It’s okay if they break a little, but we want them to stay in chunks.
• Before you put the salad in the fridge, you can taste it a little bit to see if it needs more salt or pepper. Just be careful, it might be hot from the potatoes!
