  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 8

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 lbs Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes

  • 4 large eggs, hard-boiled and chopped

  • 1 cup mayonnaise

  • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard

  • ¼ cup dill pickles, finely diced (or sweet pickles for a milder taste)

  • ½ cup celery, finely chopped

  • ½ cup red onion, finely diced

  • 2 green onions, sliced

  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped

  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • Paprika, for garnish

Instructions

  • Cook the Potatoes – Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add diced potatoes and cook for 10–12 minutes, until fork-tender. Drain and cool slightly.

  • Prepare the Eggs – While potatoes cook, peel and chop hard-boiled eggs.

  • Make the Dressing – In a large mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth.

  • Combine Ingredients – Add cooled potatoes, eggs, celery, red onion, green onions, pickles, and dill to the dressing. Toss gently to coat.

  • Chill Before Serving – Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld.

  • Serve & Garnish – Sprinkle with paprika and extra dill before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a splash of pickle juice to the dressing.

  • Use Yukon Gold potatoes for a creamier texture, or Russets for a fluffier salad.

  • Chill overnight for a more developed flavor—perfect for make-ahead meal prep.
