Ingredients
- 2.5 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes scrubbed and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup dill pickles finely chopped
- 0.25 cup fresh dill chopped
- 0.25 cup red onion finely chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 tbsp dill pickle juice from the jar
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 celery stalks finely chopped
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tsp salt or to taste
- 0.5 tsp black pepper freshly ground
Instructions
- Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold, salted water by about 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the dressing. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, chopped dill pickles, fresh dill, red onion, lemon juice, pickle juice, Dijon mustard, and lemon zest until well combined.
- Once the potatoes are tender, drain them thoroughly in a colander and let them cool for about 10 minutes. It's okay if they are still slightly warm; this helps them absorb the dressing.
- Add the warm potatoes and chopped celery to the bowl with the dressing. Gently fold everything together with a spatula until the potatoes are evenly coated. Be careful not to mash the potatoes.
- Season the potato salad with salt and black pepper to taste. For the best flavor, cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving. Serve chilled.
Notes
Storage: Store any leftover potato salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Variations: For extra creaminess, substitute 1/4 cup of the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt or sour cream. You can also add chopped hard-boiled eggs for more protein.
Chef's Tip: Salting the water for boiling the potatoes is crucial as it seasons them from the inside out, leading to a much more flavorful final dish.
