Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes
- 1 tbsp Salt
- 1 cup Dill pickles
- 1 cup Dill pickle juice
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 3 tbsp Fresh dill, chopped
- 0.5 cup Red onion, finely diced
- 0.5 cup Celery, diced
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Paprika (optional garnish)
Instructions
Wash the Yukon Gold potatoes thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized chunks. Leave the skin on for added texture.
Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 tablespoon of salt to the water.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Lower the heat to a gentle simmer and cook the potatoes until fork-tender, about 12-15 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and immediately drizzle with 1/2 cup of dill pickle juice while they are still warm. Let them cool to room temperature.
While the potatoes are cooling, prepare the dressing by combining mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, black pepper, and the remaining 1/2 cup of dill pickle juice in a large mixing bowl. Whisk until smooth.
Dice the dill pickles, red onion, and celery. Add them to the bowl with the dressing, along with the chopped fresh dill. Stir to combine.
Once the potatoes are cool, gently fold them into the dressing mixture, ensuring all pieces are coated evenly.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pickle juice if needed.
Transfer the potato salad to a serving dish, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, garnish with paprika (if desired) and a sprinkle of fresh dill for presentation.
