Method
 

  1. Start by boiling red, white, and blue potatoes until fork-tender. Do not overcook; they should hold their shape.
  2. Let the potatoes cool slightly and chop them into bite-sized pieces.
  3. In a bowl, mix together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and hot sauce to taste.
  4. Toss in diced celery, finely chopped red onion, crumbled bacon, and chopped hard-boiled eggs (if using).
  5. Gently fold the dressing into the potato mixture without mashing the potatoes.
  6. Chill in the fridge for at least one hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Notes

For added flavor, consider incorporating diced pickles or paprika.
You can substitute Greek yogurt for mayonnaise for a lighter version.
This salad can be made ahead of time, which allows the flavors to deepen; just stir it before serving.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days; the flavors will continue to develop.
