Ingredients

For the Potato Salad
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 cup dill pickles finely chopped
  • 1 cup celery finely chopped
  • 1 cup red onion finely chopped
  • 1 cup hard-boiled eggs chopped
For the Dressing
  • 1 cup mayonnaise preferably full-fat for creaminess
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard adds tanginess
  • 2 tablespoons pickle juice from the dill pickle jar
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill weed for extra dill flavor

Method

Prepare the Potatoes
  1. Place the diced Yukon Gold potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. This helps to cook the potatoes evenly.
  2. Add a pinch of salt to the water, then bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
  4. Drain the potatoes in a colander and let them cool for about 10 minutes.
Make the Dressing
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, pickle juice, and dried dill weed.
  2. Whisk the ingredients together until smooth and well combined. The dressing should be creamy with a tangy flavor.
  3. Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning with salt and black pepper as needed.
Combine Ingredients
  1. In a large mixing bowl, add the cooled potatoes, chopped dill pickles, celery, red onion, and hard-boiled eggs.
  2. Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and gently fold everything together using a spatula. Be careful not to mash the potatoes.
  3. Once everything is well combined, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Chill and Serve
  1. Cover the potato salad with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
  2. Serve chilled, garnished with additional dill or chopped parsley if desired.
