A creamy, tangy potato salad featuring boiled potatoes, hard-boiled eggs, and dill pickles, perfect for quick meals and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold or red potatoes, washed and cut into bite-sized chunks
  • 4 large eggs, hard-boiled and chopped
  • 3 medium dill pickles, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 stalks celery, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: pinch of smoked paprika or dash of hot sauce

Instructions

  1. Place the cut potatoes into a large pot and cover with cold water by about an inch. Add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a gentle simmer. Cook for 12-15 minutes until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork but not falling apart.
  2. While potatoes cook, place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then turn off heat and cover for 10 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool, then peel and chop.
  3. Once done, drain potatoes in a colander and let them cool slightly (about 10 minutes). You want them warm but not hot to avoid breaking down when mixed.
  4. In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth.
  5. Fold in the chopped dill pickles, celery, red onion (if using), fresh dill, and eggs.
  6. Gently stir in the warm potatoes until everything is evenly coated. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  7. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to let the flavors meld.
  8. Just before serving, give it a gentle stir and sprinkle with a bit more fresh dill or paprika for color.

Notes

Let potatoes cool until warm before mixing to avoid mushiness. Chopping pickles finely ensures balanced flavor. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight for best flavor. Use fresh dill for best taste. Vegan and low-fat substitutions available.
