Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 lbs gold potatoes cut into bite-sized pieces see note
  • 3 hard-boiled eggs diced
  • ½ cup finely chopped red onion
  • ½ cup diced sweet pickles
  • 1-2 celery ribs diced
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 Tablespoon sweet pickle juice
  • 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons yellow mustard
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Salt generously. Bring to a boil and cook until tender when pierced with a fork. Drain and allow potatoes to cool completely.
  2. Once potatoes have cooled, combine cooked potatoes, eggs, onion, sweet pickles, and celery in a large bowl. Set aside.
  3. Prepare dressing by whisking together mayonnaise, sweet pickle juice, sugar, mustard, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika until well-combined.
  4. Pour dressing over ingredients in large bowl and toss until all ingredients are well coated by dressing.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.

Notes

  • Recipe yields approximately 3lb (1.4kg).
  • Golden potatoes or fingerling potatoes are my preference. If using these varieties I do not peel the potatoes, but you can if you’d like! Russet potatoes may be substituted (and I discuss this in more detail in the post), peel first. 
  • When I first shared this recipe it included ½ cup (60g) of crumbled bacon. If you'd like to add this, stir it in just before serving or serve on the side. Stirring it in too far in advance can make the bacon soggy.
  • For a less-sweet potato salad, you may substitute dill pickles for the sweet pickles and use white vinegar instead of the pickle juice.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
