A creamy and tangy potato salad featuring Yukon Gold potatoes, Dijon mustard, and fresh dill. Perfect as a quick and easy side dish for gatherings and barbecues.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed and cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
  • 1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
  • 3 large hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place the Yukon Gold potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water by about an inch. Add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 12-15 minutes or until potatoes are just tender when pierced with a fork but not falling apart. Drain and let cool slightly.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  3. While potatoes cook, finely dice the red onion and celery. Chop the fresh dill and parsley. If using, peel and chop the hard-boiled eggs into medium pieces.
  4. Place the slightly warm potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Add the dressing and gently fold together with a wooden spoon or spatula. Add in the onions, celery, dill, parsley, and eggs. Fold gently again to combine without mashing the potatoes.
  5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let flavors meld. Before serving, give it a gentle stir and add any final seasoning touches. Garnish with extra fresh dill if desired.

Notes

Use Yukon Gold or red potatoes for best texture. Avoid overcooking potatoes to prevent mushiness. Fold ingredients gently to keep potatoes intact. Adding a splash of potato cooking water to the dressing can enhance creaminess. For dairy-free, substitute mayonnaise with vegan mayo and omit eggs.
