Ingredients
3 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cubed (about 7–8 medium-sized potatoes)
2 teaspoons kosher salt (for boiling potatoes)
4 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped
½ cup hamburger dill pickles, chopped
2 tablespoons hamburger dill pickle juice
½ cup Vidalia or sweet yellow onion, finely minced or grated
1 cup mayonnaise (preferably Dukes or Hellman’s)
¼ cup yellow mustard
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Dash of paprika for garnish
Instructions
-
Cook the potatoes: Peel and cube the russet potatoes. Place in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add 2 teaspoons of kosher salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes, until fork-tender. Drain and let cool to room temperature.
-
Prepare the ingredients: While the potatoes are cooling, chop the hard-boiled eggs, pickles, and onion. In a separate bowl, mix the mayonnaise, mustard, kosher salt, and black pepper until smooth.
-
Assemble the salad: Once the potatoes are cool, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Add the chopped eggs, pickles, and onion. Pour the dressing over the ingredients and toss gently to coat. Stir in the pickle juice.
-
Chill the salad: Cover the potato salad and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. For best results, chill overnight.
-
Garnish and serve: Before serving, sprinkle with a dash of paprika for color and extra flavor. Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
Vegan Version: Swap the mayonnaise for a vegan mayo and omit the hard-boiled eggs for a vegan-friendly version.
Extra Creamy: Add an extra ¼ cup of mayonnaise for a creamier texture.
