Ingredients
- 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
- 3 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 1/4 cup dill pickles, diced
- 2 tbsp fresh dill
- Salt, pepper, paprika
Method
-
Boil potatoes in salted water until just tender (12 min — don't overcook). Drain, cool slightly.
-
While still warm, toss with vinegar (warm potatoes absorb dressing better).
-
Mix mayo, mustard, celery, pickles, dill. Fold into potatoes with eggs. Season.
-
Chill at least 1 hour. Dust with paprika before serving.
What You're Practicing
- Dressing warm potatoes with vinegar first is the secret — they absorb the acid and season from within.
- Yukon Golds hold their shape better than russets (which crumble).
