Instructions
- Place the quartered potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold, salted water, and bring to a boil. Cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well and allow them to cool slightly.
- While the potatoes cook, prepare the dressing. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, and celery seed until smooth. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a large mixing bowl, lightly mash about one-third of the warm potatoes with a fork. This helps the dressing adhere better. Add the remaining whole/half potatoes.
- Gently fold in the chopped hard-boiled eggs, finely chopped celery, minced red onion, and crumbled bacon into the bowl with the potatoes.
- Pour the prepared steakhouse dressing over the potato mixture. Fold everything together carefully until the potatoes and mix-ins are evenly coated. Be gentle to keep some potato chunks intact.
- Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld properly before serving.
Notes
Yukon Gold potatoes are preferred for their creamy texture, but Russets work if you prefer a starchier salad. For best flavor, use high-quality smoked paprika.
