Ingredients

  • 3 lb / 1.36 kg Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 Tbsp / 18 g kosher salt, for the water
  • 1 cup / 240 g mayonnaise
  • 2 Tbsp / 30 g Dijon mustard
  • 2 Tbsp / 30 mL apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp / 6 g kosher salt, for the dressing
  • 1/2 tsp / 1 g freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 stalks celery, diced
  • 1/2 red onion, finely diced
  • 4 large eggs, hard-boiled and chopped
  • 2 Tbsp / 6 g fresh dill, chopped

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Step 1: Boil the potatoes in well-salted water 15 minutes, until just tender. Drain and cool 10 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Whisk the mayonnaise, Dijon, vinegar, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
  3. Step 3: Fold in the warm potatoes, celery, red onion, eggs, and dill until evenly coated.
  4. Step 4: Chill at least 1 hour so the flavors meld. Taste and adjust the salt before serving.

Cook's Notes

  • Serves 8 | large pot | large bowl
  • Dress the potatoes warm so they absorb the dressing.
  • Do not overcook; tender but intact potatoes make the best salad.
  • Keeps 3 days refrigerated.
