Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 4 pounds potatoes (about 8 large)
Eggs
- 12 hard boiled eggs
Dressing
- 1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup mustard
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons dill relish
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Boil Potatoes: Cut the potatoes in half and place them in a large pot. Cover with enough water and boil until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and transfer to a bowl to chill in the refrigerator until cool enough to handle but still warm.
- Peel and Cube Potatoes: Using a paring knife, peel the warm potatoes and then cut them into cubes for the salad.
- Prepare Eggs: Peel the hard boiled eggs and slice them in half. Separate the yolks into a mixing bowl and set the egg whites aside.
- Mash Egg Yolks: Mash the yolks thoroughly, just like making deviled eggs, to a smooth consistency.
- Make Dressing: Add mayonnaise, mustard, and white vinegar to the mashed yolks. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add Relish: Fold the dill relish into the egg yolk dressing mixture to add brightness and texture.
- Combine Salad: Chop the egg whites and add them along with the cubed potatoes to the dressing. Gently toss everything together until well combined.
- Season and Chill: Taste and season with salt and pepper as desired. Chill the potato salad for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight, to allow flavors to meld before serving.
Notes
- Boiling the potatoes just until tender helps them hold their shape in the salad.
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure even mixing and better flavor integration.
- Chilling overnight enhances the flavors and makes the salad taste better.
- For a tangier salad, adjust the mustard and vinegar to your liking.
- Feel free to add chopped celery or green onions for extra crunch and freshness.
