Print Recipe

A quick, tangy, and creamy potato salad featuring dill pickles and fresh dill for a bright, flavorful twist on a classic side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold or red potatoes, scrubbed and cut into bite-sized chunks
  • 1 cup finely chopped dill pickles
  • 2 tablespoons pickle juice
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise (about 6 fluid ounces)
  • 1/4 cup sour cream (2 fluid ounces), can substitute Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
  • 1/2 cup celery, diced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Place the cut potatoes into a large pot and cover with cold water by an inch. Add a pinch of salt.
  2. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 12 to 15 minutes until tender but still firm when pierced with a fork.
  3. Drain the potatoes well in a colander and spread them out on a baking sheet or large plate to cool slightly until warm but not hot.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, pickle juice, yellow mustard, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  5. Finely dice dill pickles, red onion, celery, and chop fresh dill.
  6. Gently fold the warm potatoes into the dressing, then mix in the chopped pickles, onion, celery, and dill.
  7. Taste and add more salt or pepper if needed. The salad should be creamy but not soggy.
  8. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to let flavors meld.

Notes

Use Yukon Gold or red potatoes for best texture. Do not overcook potatoes to avoid mushy salad. Adding pickle juice to the dressing enhances tanginess. Chill salad for at least 1 hour before serving. For dairy-free, substitute vegan mayo and sour cream. Optional add-ins include crispy bacon or hard-boiled eggs.
