Method
 

  1. Start by placing the baby potatoes in a large pot and cover with water.

  3. Bring the water to a boil and let the potatoes cook for about 15-20 minutes until fork-tender.
  4. Once cooked, drain the potatoes in a colander and let them cool for a few minutes.
  5. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper.
