Print Recipe

A tangy and refreshing potato salad featuring dill pickles and yellow mustard, perfect for summer cookouts and quick gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold or red potatoes, washed and cut into bite-sized chunks
  • 1 cup dill pickles, chopped (preferably crunchy, dill pickles)
  • 3 tablespoons yellow mustard
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • ½ cup celery, finely chopped
  • ¼ cup red onion, finely diced
  • 2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Place the cut potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until potatoes are tender but not falling apart, about 12-15 minutes. Test by poking with a fork.
  2. Drain the potatoes in a colander and rinse briefly with cold water to stop the cooking process. Let them cool completely.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, yellow mustard, and apple cider vinegar until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  4. Gently fold the cooled potatoes into the dressing. Add the chopped dill pickles, celery, red onion, and hard-boiled eggs if using. Mix carefully to avoid breaking the potatoes.
  5. Stir in the chopped fresh dill.
  6. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
  7. Just before serving, give the salad a gentle stir and adjust seasoning if needed.

Notes

Cool potatoes completely before mixing to avoid watery salad. Fold ingredients gently to keep potato chunks intact. Chill for at least 1 hour to let flavors meld. Adjust seasoning gradually due to saltiness from pickles and mustard. Can substitute mayo with Greek yogurt or vegan mayo for lighter or vegan versions.
