Print Recipe

A tangy and creamy potato salad featuring tender potatoes, hard-boiled eggs, fresh dill, and a flavorful mayo-based dressing. Perfect for summer cookouts and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold or red potatoes, scrubbed and chopped into 1-inch pieces
  • 4 large hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons red onion, finely diced (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
  • Alternative: swap mayo with plain Greek yogurt for a lighter twist

Instructions

  1. Place the chopped potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water by about an inch. Add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until the potatoes are tender but not falling apart, about 12-15 minutes. Test by piercing with a fork.
  2. Drain potatoes in a colander and rinse briefly with cool water to stop cooking. Let them sit for about 10 minutes to cool and dry slightly.
  3. While potatoes cook, place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then turn off heat and cover the pan. Let sit for 10-12 minutes. Transfer eggs to an ice bath immediately to cool, then peel and chop coarsely.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  5. Add cooled potatoes, chopped eggs, celery, red onion, and fresh dill to the dressing. Gently fold everything together, being careful not to mash the potatoes.
  6. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let flavors meld. Before serving, give it a gentle stir and adjust salt or pepper if needed.

Notes

Use Yukon Gold or red potatoes to hold shape well. Avoid overcooking potatoes to prevent a gluey texture. Add fresh dill just before chilling to preserve flavor. Let potatoes cool and dry before mixing to avoid watery salad. Older eggs peel easier. Vegan mayo and no eggs can be used for a plant-based version.
