Ingredients
- 3 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- ½ cup dill pickle juice divided
- 4 hard boiled eggs chopped
- 1 cup dill pickles sliced & chopped
- ½ cup finely diced sweet onion optional
- 1¼ cups mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons yellow mustard
- 3 tablespoons fresh dill chopped
- ½ teaspoon celery seed
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into chunks about ½ to ¾ inch in size. Place the potato pieces into a pot of boiling water and cook them for roughly 15 minutes, or until they are just tender when pierced with a fork. Be careful not to overcook them.
- Strain the water from the potatoes and transfer them to a large bowl. Drizzle ¼ cup of dill pickle juice over the potatoes and allow them to cool for 30 minutes.
- After the potatoes have cooled, mix in the chopped eggs, pickles, and onion, stirring gently to combine. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, dill, celery seed, and the remaining ¼ cup of pickle juice until smooth. Season with salt and pepper around 1/2 teaspoon of each to taste, being cautious with the salt as the pickles already add a salty flavor.
- Drizzle the dressing over the potatoes and gently mix until the potatoes are evenly coated. The more you stir, the more the potatoes will break apart—if you prefer them mostly in chunks, stir lightly, but you can continue mixing if you prefer a creamier texture.
- Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hours before serving.
Notes
Notes
- Use waxy potatoes like red or gold that hold their shape after boiling for a creamy bite.
- Dice potatoes uniformly for even cooking. Boil until tender but not mushy, then cool before adding other ingredients.
- Opt for dill pickles to infuse signature zest into each bite. Include pickle juice in the dressing.
- Allowing the salad to chill for a few hours lets the robust flavors permeate fully.
