🛒 Ingredients (Serves 6–8)

  • 2½ lbs Yukon Gold or red potatoes

  • 3 large eggs, hard-boiled and chopped

  • ¾ cup mayonnaise

  • 2 tbsp sour cream (optional, for extra creaminess)

  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard

  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar or pickle juice

  • ½ cup celery, finely chopped

  • ¼ cup red onion, finely diced

  • 2 tbsp dill pickles or sweet relish

  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley or dill, chopped

  • ¾ tsp salt (or to taste)

  • ½ tsp black pepper

🔪 Instructions

1️⃣ Cook the Potatoes

  • Peel (optional) and cut potatoes into bite-size chunks.

  • Place in salted cold water, bring to a boil.

  • Cook 10–15 minutes until fork-tender but not mushy.

  • Drain and let cool slightly.

2️⃣ Make the Dressing

  • In a large bowl, mix mayo, sour cream, mustard, vinegar/pickle juice, salt, pepper, and paprika.

3️⃣ Combine

  • Gently fold in warm (not hot) potatoes so they absorb flavor.

  • Add eggs, celery, onion, pickles, and herbs.

  • Mix carefully to avoid breaking the potatoes.

4️⃣ Chill

  • Cover and refrigerate at least 1–2 hours before serving.

  • Garnish with a sprinkle of paprika and extra herbs.


✨ Tips for the Best Potato Salad

  • Use waxy potatoes (Yukon Gold or red) for creamy texture.

  • Season while warm for deeper flavor.

  • Add a splash of pickle juice for extra tang.

  • Let it chill fully—flavor improves over time.
