A simple, comforting potato salad featuring Yukon Gold potatoes, hard-boiled eggs, and fresh dill, perfect for summer picnics and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, washed and cut into bite-sized chunks
  • 4 large eggs, hard-boiled and chopped
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup celery, finely diced (optional)
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Pinch of smoked paprika or cayenne (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place the cut Yukon Gold potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender but still hold their shape. Drain and let cool slightly.
  2. While the potatoes cook, place the eggs in a separate pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a gentle boil, then cover, turn off heat, and let sit for 10-12 minutes. Drain and transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool completely.
  3. Chop the eggs, finely dice celery and red onion, and chop fresh dill. Set aside.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning. Add a pinch of smoked paprika or cayenne if desired.
  5. Gently fold the warm potatoes into the dressing, then add chopped eggs, celery, red onion, and dill. Mix carefully to avoid breaking up the potatoes too much.
  6. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to let flavors meld. Taste again before serving and adjust salt or pepper if needed.

Notes

Use warm potatoes when mixing with dressing for better absorption and creamier texture. Cool eggs in ice water immediately after boiling to make peeling easier. Avoid overcooking potatoes to prevent mushy salad. Mix gently to keep potato chunks intact.
