Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds Yukon Gold or red potatoes, washed and cut into bite-sized chunks
  • 8 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 1 cup finely chopped dill pickles
  • 3 tablespoons dill pickle juice
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped celery
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Paprika for garnish

Instructions

  1. Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook for 12-15 minutes until tender but still firm when pierced with a fork. Drain well and let cool slightly (about 10 minutes).
  2. While potatoes cook, place eggs in a separate pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then turn off heat and cover. Let eggs sit for 12 minutes. Drain and cool under cold running water. Peel and chop roughly, keeping some pieces chunky for texture.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, dill pickle juice, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  4. In a large bowl, gently fold the cooked potatoes, chopped eggs, dill pickles, celery, green onions, and fresh dill together. Pour the dressing over and mix carefully to coat everything without mashing the potatoes.
  5. Cover and refrigerate the salad for at least one hour to let flavors meld. Just before serving, sprinkle paprika on top for color and a hint of smoky flavor.

Notes

Use waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes to prevent mushiness. Peel eggs carefully, preferably using eggs at least a week old for easier peeling. Warm potatoes absorb dressing better but avoid overcooking. Refrigerate at least one hour before serving for best flavor. Can swap celery for cucumber or use Greek yogurt with mayo for lighter dressing. Add spicy Dijon mustard or hot sauce for a kick.
