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

  1. Boil potatoes in salted water until just tender (12 min — don't overcook). Drain, cool slightly.

  2. While still warm, toss with vinegar (warm potatoes absorb dressing better).

  3. Mix mayo, mustard, celery, pickles, dill. Fold into potatoes with eggs. Season.

  4. 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).
