Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Yukon gold potatoes
- 2 tsp Salt
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Sour cream
- 2 tbsp Prepared horseradish
- 0.5 cup Dill pickles (finely chopped)
- 3 tbsp Fresh dill (chopped)
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 stalks Green onions (sliced)
- 2 whole Hard-boiled eggs, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Wash and peel the Yukon gold potatoes. Cut them into 1-inch cubes to ensure even cooking.
Place the potato cubes in a large pot and fill with enough water to cover them by about 1 inch. Add 1 teaspoon of salt.
Bring the pot to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for 12-15 minutes or until they are fork-tender but not falling apart.
Drain the potatoes and let them cool completely. Spread them on a baking sheet to speed up cooling if necessary.
While the potatoes cool, prepare the dressing. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, horseradish, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Stir until smooth.
Gently fold the cooled potatoes into the dressing, ensuring they are evenly coated without breaking them apart.
Add the chopped pickles, fresh dill, green onions, and black pepper to the bowl. If using chopped hard-boiled eggs, add them at this stage.
Taste the salad and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more salt, pepper, or horseradish to taste.
Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld, though longer is better.
Serve the potato salad cold, garnished with an extra sprinkle of dill or green onions, if desired.
