A quick and easy creamy potato salad featuring Yukon Gold potatoes and fresh dill, perfect for summer BBQs and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes (about 900 grams)
  • ½ cup mayonnaise (120 ml)
  • ¼ cup sour cream (60 ml)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 stalk celery, finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons red onion, finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse 2 pounds (900 g) of Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into roughly 1-inch (2.5 cm) cubes. No need to peel.
  2. Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water by about an inch. Add a pinch of salt.
  3. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 12-15 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender but not mushy.
  4. Drain the potatoes in a colander and spread them on a baking sheet or tray to cool for about 15 minutes.
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine ½ cup mayonnaise, ¼ cup sour cream, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper to taste. Whisk until smooth.
  6. Stir in 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, 1 finely diced celery stalk, and 2 tablespoons minced red onion.
  7. Once potatoes are cool, gently fold them into the dressing mixture, being careful not to break up the cubes. Fold in chopped hard-boiled eggs if using.
  8. Cover and refrigerate the potato salad for at least 1 hour to let flavors meld. Overnight is better, but 30 minutes can work if pressed for time.
  9. Taste before serving and add more salt, pepper, or dill if needed. Optionally, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for brightness.

Notes

Avoid stirring vigorously after mixing to keep potatoes intact. Cool potatoes properly to prevent watery salad. Fresh dill is preferred over dried for best flavor. For dairy-free, substitute sour cream with plant-based yogurt and use vegan mayo. Salad tastes better after chilling for several hours or overnight.
