Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds yukon gold potatoes, cut into ½-inch pieces
- ¾ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons dill pickle brine
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 2 garlic cloves, grated
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- ½ cup diced dill pickles
- ½ cup chopped fresh chives
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
- 2 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped, optional
Instructions
- Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain and cool to room temperature.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, pickle brine, apple cider vinegar, mustard, garlic, sea salt, and several grinds of pepper to make the dressing.
- Place the cooled potatoes in a large bowl. Add the dressing and stir to coat, mashing the potatoes slightly for a creamy texture.
- Fold in the diced celery, chopped dill pickles, chives, dill, and chopped hard-boiled eggs if using.
- Cover and chill the salad for at least 1 hour or up to 1 day.
- Season to taste and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Notes
For a creamier texture, mash more of the potatoes when mixing with the dressing.
Feel free to add other veggies like bell peppers or red onions for an extra crunch.
This potato salad tastes even better after chilling, allowing the flavors to meld together.
