Creamy Dill Potato Salad with Eggs

Tender Yukon Gold potatoes and chopped hard-boiled eggs folded into a tangy mayo and sour cream dressing with crunchy celery, red onion, and plenty of fresh dill. A classic picnic-style side that's just as good next to pulled pork or burgers on a weeknight.

35 mins 6 servings

Ingredients

  • ½ cup Celery
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Dill
  • ¼ cup Red Onion (Medium)
  • 2 ½ pounds Yukon Gold Potato, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
  • 4 Eggs
  • ¼ cup Sour Cream
  • 1 tablespoon Kosher Salt, for the cooking water
  • ½ teaspoon Kosher Salt, for the dressing
  • 3 ½ tablespoons Kosher Salt
  • 1 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
  • ¾ cup Mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Mustard (Dijon)
  • ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon Paprika, for sprinkling

Directions

  1. Put the potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water by an inch, and add the salt for the cooking water. Bring to a boil, then simmer until a fork slides in easily, about 10 to 12 minutes. Drain well and spread on a sheet pan to cool for 10 minutes.
  2. While the potatoes cook, place the eggs in a small saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat, cover, and let sit for 10 minutes. Move the eggs to a bowl of ice water, then peel and chop them.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon, vinegar, the salt for the dressing, and the pepper until smooth.
  4. Add the slightly warm potatoes, chopped eggs, celery, red onion, and dill. Fold gently until everything is coated.
  5. Sprinkle with paprika and serve right away, or cover and chill for an hour for the best flavor. It keeps 3 days in the fridge; stir before serving.
