Calling something the “best ever” is a pretty bold claim. Here at SkinnyMs., we believe, with wholehearted confidence, that this potato salad deserves to take home the gold.

A beautiful blend of bold, flavorful ingredients like egg yolks, celery, sweet onion, and pickles form a mixture that coats the cooked potatoes. Yellow dijon mustard gives the potatoes a tangy punch, while a subtle dusting of paprika adds a zesty touch to this yummy side dish.
