“Skinned Potato Salad” typically refers to a variation of potato salad where the potatoes are peeled (skinned) before being boiled and mixed with other ingredients like mayonnaise, mustard, onions, and sometimes celery or pickles. It’s a classic style of potato salad that tends to have a smoother texture due to the absence of potato skins.

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds (about 1 kg) potatoes, peeled and cut into bite-sized chunks
• 3/4 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1/4 cup chopped red onion
• 1/4 cup chopped celery (optional)
• 2 tablespoons chopped dill pickles (optional)
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or white vinegar
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Paprika (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Boil the Potatoes: Place the peeled and diced potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and let cool slightly.
2. Prepare Dressing: In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper until well combined.
3. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the slightly cooled potatoes with chopped red onion, celery, dill pickles, and parsley.
4. Add Dressing: Pour the prepared dressing over the potato mixture. Gently toss until all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
5. Chill and Serve: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the salad to a serving dish. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld before serving. Sprinkle with paprika for garnish, if desired.
6. Serve: Serve chilled or at room temperature as a delicious side dish for any meal, especially during picnics or barbecues.
