Description

This Creamy Potato Salad features flavorful yukon gold potatoes in a mayonnaise blend, making it an excellent choice for BBQs or potlucks. Easy to prepare and a family favorite, it’s perfect for gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds yukon gold potatoes, cut into ½-inch pieces
  • ¾ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons dill pickle brine
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 2 garlic cloves, grated
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • ½ cup diced dill pickles
  • ½ cup chopped fresh chives
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
  • 2 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped, optional

Instructions

  1. Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and set aside to cool.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, dill pickle brine, apple cider vinegar, mustard, garlic, sea salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
  3. Transfer the cooled potatoes to a large bowl. Add the dressing and gently mix to coat, mashing the potatoes slightly for creaminess.
  4. Fold in the diced celery, chopped dill pickles, chives, and dill. If using, add the chopped hard-boiled eggs.
  5. Cover the salad and chill for at least 1 hour, up to 1 day, to let the flavors meld.
  6. Season to taste before serving. Leftover potato salad can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Notes

Adjust seasoning based on preference before serving.
Hard-boiled eggs are optional but add great flavor and texture.
For a tangier taste, increase the amount of pickle brine.
