Ingredients

  • 3 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 2 teaspoons Kosher salt
  • 1 cup Mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
  • 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 2 large Celery stalks, diced
  • 0.5 cup Red onion, finely chopped
  • 0.5 cup Dill pickles, diced
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
  • 4 large Hard boiled eggs, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into bite-sized cubes (about 1-inch pieces).

Step 2

Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of kosher salt.

Step 3

Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes until they are fork-tender but not falling apart, about 10-12 minutes.

Step 4

Drain the potatoes and spread them out on a baking sheet to cool slightly. Sprinkle with apple cider vinegar while warm for extra flavor.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, remaining 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, granulated sugar, and black pepper.

Step 6

Add the cooled potatoes to the dressing along with the diced celery, red onion, dill pickles, chopped hard-boiled eggs, and fresh dill.

Step 7

Gently mix all the ingredients until evenly coated with the dressing. Be careful not to mash the potatoes.

Step 8

Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld together. For best results, refrigerate overnight.

Step 9

Before serving, give the potato salad a gentle stir and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 10

Serve chilled as a side dish at your next gathering!
