Ingredients

• 2 lbs Yukon gold potatoes
• 1.5 cups Dill pickles
• 0.5 cups Pickle juice
• 0.75 cups Mayonnaise
• 0.5 cups Sour cream
• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 cup Celery
• 0.5 cups Red onion
• 2 tbsp Fresh dill
• 1 tsp Kosher salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 pieces Hard-boiled eggs (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and peel the Yukon gold potatoes. Cut them into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Drain and let cool slightly.

Step 3

While the potatoes are cooling, chop the dill pickles, celery, and red onion into small, evenly sized pieces. Set aside.

Step 4

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, pickle juice, salt, and pepper. Stir in the chopped fresh dill.

Step 5

Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle but still warm, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour half of the dressing over the potatoes and gently toss to coat. Let this sit for 10-15 minutes so the potatoes soak up the flavors.

Step 6

After the potatoes have absorbed some of the dressing, fold in the chopped dill pickles, celery, red onion, and optional chopped hard-boiled eggs.

Step 7

Add the remaining dressing and gently mix until everything is well combined.

Step 8

Taste the salad and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or pickle juice as desired.

Step 9

Cover and refrigerate the potato salad for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 10

Garnish with additional fresh dill or a few extra chopped pickles if desired. Serve chilled and enjoy!
