Ingredients

• 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 stalks Celery
• 0.5 medium Red onion
• 0.5 cup Dill pickles
• 3 large Hard-boiled eggs
• 0.75 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons Paprika

Directions

Step 1

Wash and peel the Yukon Gold potatoes, then cut them into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes for 10-15 minutes or until they are tender but not falling apart.

Step 4

While the potatoes are cooking, dice the celery and red onion into small pieces. Chop the dill pickles and hard-boiled eggs into similar-sized pieces.

Step 5

Drain the cooked potatoes in a colander and let them cool for 10-15 minutes. You can speed this up by spreading them in a single layer on a baking sheet.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and ground black pepper to create the dressing.

Step 7

Once the potatoes are cooled, gently fold them into the dressing to coat evenly.

Step 8

Add the chopped celery, red onion, dill pickles, and hard-boiled eggs to the bowl. Sprinkle in the fresh dill and gently mix to combine all the ingredients.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld.

Step 10

Before serving, sprinkle the potato salad with paprika for a pop of color and extra flavor.

Step 11

Serve chilled as a side dish for your summertime meals.
