Ingredients
  

  • 3 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes cut into chunks
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
  • 2 tablespoons pickle juice
  • 1/2 cup dill pickles finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup celery finely diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion finely diced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped

Instructions
 

Cook the Potatoes

  • Fill a large pot with water and add the potato chunks. Bring the water to a boil. Cook the potatoes until they are fork-tender but still firm. This usually takes about 12 to 15 minutes.

Boil the Eggs

  • Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil. Turn off the heat and let the eggs sit for about 12 minutes. Cool and peel them.

Drain and Cool

  • Drain the cooked potatoes in a colander. Let them cool for about 15 minutes. Warm potatoes can make the dressing too thin. Cooling helps keep the salad creamy and thick.

Prepare the Dressing

  • In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, mustard, pickle juice, salt, pepper, and paprika. Stir until smooth and creamy. This dressing gives the salad its classic flavor and rich texture.

Chop the Vegetables

  • Dice the celery, red onion, and pickles into small pieces. Small pieces spread flavor evenly throughout the salad. Chop the boiled eggs into bite-sized pieces as well.

Combine Everything

  • Place the cooled potatoes in a large bowl. Add the eggs, celery, onion, and pickles. Pour the dressing over everything. Gently mix until all ingredients are coated evenly.

Add Fresh Herbs

  • Sprinkle chopped parsley over the salad. Fold it in carefully. The parsley adds freshness and color. It also gives the salad a bright homemade appearance.

Chill Before Serving

  • Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least one hour. Chilling allows the flavors to blend beautifully. The salad tastes even better after resting in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • Use Yukon Gold potatoes for the best texture.
  • Do not overcook the potatoes.
  • Chill before serving for better flavor.
  • Add crispy bacon for extra richness.
  • Mix in shredded cheddar cheese.
  • Use Greek yogurt instead of some mayonnaise.
  • Add green onions for extra freshness.
  • Sprinkle extra paprika on top before serving.
  • Use dill relish if pickles are unavailable.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning before serving.
