Ingredients

  • 3 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 2 teaspoons Salt
  • 1 cup Mayonnaise
  • 0.5 cup Sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons Yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
  • 2 count Celery stalks, finely diced
  • 0.5 cup Red onion, finely diced
  • 0.5 cup Dill pickles, finely chopped
  • 4 count Hard-boiled eggs, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
  • 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Scrub, peel (optional), and chop the Yukon Gold potatoes into bite-sized chunks.

Step 2

Place the chopped potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.

Step 3

Bring the potatoes to a boil over medium-high heat. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 4

Drain the potatoes in a colander and let them cool to room temperature.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, and ground black pepper until smooth.

Step 6

Add the cooled potatoes to the bowl, along with the celery, red onion, dill pickles, chopped hard-boiled eggs, and fresh parsley (if using). Gently fold to combine, making sure the dressing coats everything evenly.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.

Step 8

Transfer the potato salad to a serving bowl. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 9

Before serving, sprinkle the top with a light dusting of paprika for a pop of color, if desired.

Step 10

Serve cold and enjoy this creamy, tangy, flavorful potato salad!
