Ingredients
- 2 lbs potatoes peeled, cut into quarters
- 6 eggs
- ½ cup green onions sliced
- 3-4 Pickles diced
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- ½ teaspoon salt to taste
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ¼ teaspoon paprika for garnish
- 1 teaspoon chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Place the potatoes and eggs in a pot filled with salted water.
- Bring the water to a boil, then turn down the heat slightly to allow a rolling boil. Cook for 15-18 minutes or until potatoes are fork-tender.
- Place remaining ingredients in a large mixing bowl and mix until well combined.
- When potatoes are cooked, strain them and allow to cool, along with the eggs.
- Peel the eggs and roughly chop into quarters.
- Once the potatoes and eggs are completely cooled, add them to the bowl with the remaining ingredients.
- Gently toss to combine all the ingredients and garnish with paprika and parsley.
Notes
- You'll want to use waxy potatoes (e.g., Yukon gold, Red Bliss and fingerlings). These potatoes are creamier and keep their shape well after being cooked. I avoid Russet potatoes since they don't hold their shape well but it does make for a more "mashed potato" like potato salad.
- Make sure to cut the potatoes evenly and start boiling them in cold water. This will help them cook evenly and hold their shape after cooking.
- I prefer to peel skins because it makes for a creamier potato salad. However, you can totally leave the skin on if you want (just make sure to wash them thoroughly!)
- This recipe can be easily made vegan by eliminating the eggs and using vegan mayonnaise. The other ingredients are all naturally vegan!
