- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 cup celery, chopped
- 1/2 cup red onion, chopped
- 1/4 cup pickles, diced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill (optional)
Instructions
- Boil the potatoes in a large pot of salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and cool before chopping into cubes.
