Instructions:
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks.
- Place the potato chunks in a large pot and fill it with enough water to cover the potatoes.
- Add a generous pinch of salt to the water.
- Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes for about 10-15 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. Be careful not to overcook them to avoid mushiness.
- Drain the potatoes in a colander and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process.
- Allow the potatoes to cool completely. You can spread them out on a baking sheet to speed up the cooling process.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise salad dressing, pickle relish, sugar, finely chopped onion, mustard, and vinegar.
- Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well blended.
- Once the potatoes have cooled, add them to the bowl with the dressing mixture.
- Gently toss the potatoes to coat them evenly with the dressing.
- Add the finely diced celery, chopped fresh parsley, black pepper, and a dash of salt to the potato mixture.
- Gently fold the ingredients together, ensuring that everything is well distributed without breaking the potatoes.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the potato salad to an airtight container.
- Refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Before serving, give the potato salad a gentle stir.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper to taste.
- For a fresh touch, garnish the salad with a sprinkle of additional chopped parsley or a few extra dashes of black pepper.
- Serve your restaurant-style potato salad chilled as a delicious side dish for picnics, barbecues, or any meal.
Tips:
- Boil the potatoes until they are tender but still firm to avoid a mushy texture in your salad.
- Allow the potatoes to cool completely before mixing with the dressing to maintain the structure of the salad.
- For a tangier flavor, you can increase the amount of vinegar or pickle relish according to your taste preferences.
- Chop the onions and celery finely to ensure they blend well with the creamy dressing while still adding a crunch.
- You can substitute fresh parsley with dried parsley if fresh herbs are not available, but fresh parsley offers the best flavor.
