Instructions
Cube and Microwave Potatoes
Place cubed potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl with 3 tablespoons of water. Cover and microwave on high for 5 minutes until fork-tender.
Cool Potatoes
Drain any excess water from the potatoes and let them cool for 2 minutes so the dressing does not melt when added.
Mix Dressing
Stir together mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until smooth and combined.
Combine and Serve
Pour the dressing over the cooled potatoes, add diced celery, and toss gently to coat. Serve immediately or chill before serving.
