This creamy potato salad is the ultimate crowd-pleaser, perfect for backyard barbecues, picnics, or as a comforting side dish for any meal. The key to this recipe is using small red potatoes, which hold their shape beautifully when boiled and cooled. The dressing is a luscious blend of mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and red wine vinegar, creating a tangy and rich flavor profile that coats every bite. Finely chopped green onions add a fresh, sharp crunch that cuts through the creaminess. Unlike traditional versions, this salad is best served chilled, allowing the flavors to meld together over time. It’s simple, satisfying, and always a hit.
