Instructions:

1. Prepare the Potatoes:
   • Peel and dice the russet potatoes into bite-sized chunks.
   • Place the diced potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt.
   • Bring the water to a boil and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender but still hold their shape (approximately 10-15 minutes).
2. Make the Dressing:
   • In a separate bowl, combine mayonnaise, yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, sugar, and onion powder. Whisk the ingredients together until the dressing is smooth and well-incorporated.
3. Combine Ingredients:
   • Drain the cooked potatoes and allow them to cool slightly.
   • In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the cooked potatoes, sweet pickle relish, and chopped celery.
4. Add the Dressing:
   • Pour the prepared dressing over the potato mixture. Gently fold everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated with the dressing.
5. Chill and Serve:
   • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the potato salad for at least 2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld.
6. Garnish and Enjoy:
   • Before serving, give the potato salad a final stir. Garnish with additional chopped celery or a sprinkle of paprika for a touch of color.
