A creamy, tangy potato salad that’s perfect for summer BBQs, picnics, and potlucks. This crowd-pleasing recipe is quick, easy, and delicious.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold or red potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup celery, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, diced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 4 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Peel and dice the potatoes into bite-sized chunks, keeping the pieces uniform for even cooking.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the diced potatoes and cook for 10-12 minutes until fork-tender. Avoid overcooking.
  3. Drain the potatoes and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process. Let them sit in the colander to drain completely.
  4. Place eggs in a small pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, turn off the heat, cover, and let them sit for 10 minutes. Peel and chop them once cooled.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  6. Stir in the celery, red onion, and fresh dill into the dressing for added texture and flavor.
  7. Gently fold in the cooled potatoes and chopped eggs until everything is evenly coated with the dressing.
  8. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
  9. Taste the potato salad after chilling and adjust the seasoning if needed.

Notes

[“Don’t overcook the potatoes to ensure they hold their shape.”, ‘Cool the potatoes completely before mixing to prevent the dressing from melting.’, ‘Use fresh dill for the best flavor.’, ‘Taste and adjust seasoning after chilling.’]
