Dill Pickle Potato Salad

1 ½ pounds baby yukon gold potatoesquartered

3 hard boiled eggschopped

½ cup dill pickleschopped

½ cup chopped celery

½ cup chopped red onion sub with green onion or chives

¼ cup mayonnaise

¼ cup sour cream

2 tablespoons dill pickle brine

1 ½ tablespoons Dijon mustard

1 ½ tablespoons fresh dillchopped

½ tsp sea saltor to taste

¼ tsp black pepperor to taste

Place the chopped baby gold potatoes in a large pot and fill with enough water to cover the potatoes by an inch. Place the lid on and cook over high heat until boiling. Remove the lid and reduce the heat to medium, and cook for 10-15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender enough to pierce with the tip of a knife. You want the potatoes to be tender but not mushy so that they hold their shape. Drain well in a colander, then place in a large bowl. Cook the potatoes with 1/2 tablespoon of sea salt for added flavor.

Place the chopped hard boiled eggs, dill pickle, celery and red onion to the bowl of potatoes and set aside.

Whisk the mayonnaise, sour cream, dill pickle brine, Dijon mustard, chopped dill, salt and pepper until well incorporated in a small bowl. Add the dressing to the potatoes and toss gently until well coated. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed. Chill for 1-2 hours or overnight before serving to enhance the flavors. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Ice Bath Potato Cooling 🧊
After boiling, immediately transfer potatoes to an ice bath to stop the cooking process and prevent them from becoming mushy or absorbing excess moisture that would make the salad watery.
Pickle Brine Infusion While Warm 🥒
Toss the warm potatoes with dill pickle brine before adding the dressing—the warm potatoes will absorb the tangy liquid for deeper, more complex flavor throughout every bite.
Sour Cream and Mayo Balance ⚖️
Use a 1:2 ratio of sour cream to mayonnaise to achieve that perfect creamy texture while the sour cream adds brightness that cuts through the richness and complements the dill pickle tang.
Make-Ahead Seasoning Strategy ⏰
Assemble the salad the day before serving but add fresh dill, hard-boiled eggs, and extra pickle slices just 2 hours prior—this prevents sogginess while allowing flavors to meld and eggs to stay vibrant.
Dice Everything Consistently 🔪
Cut all ingredients (potatoes, pickles, eggs, celery, onion) into uniform ¼-inch pieces so every forkful delivers balanced flavors and textures without any one ingredient dominating.
