  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

  • 3 lb Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed

  • ¾ cup mayonnaise (or ½ cup mayo + ¼ cup Greek yogurt)

  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard

  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice)

  • 2 tbsp sweet pickle relish

  • 3 hard-boiled eggs, chopped

  • 2 celery stalks, finely diced

  • ¼ cup red onion, minced (or 3 tbsp scallions)

  • 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped

  • ½ tsp paprika

  • ½ tsp celery seed

  • 1 to 1¼ tsp kosher salt, to taste

  • ½ tsp black pepper

  • Optional: 4 strips cooked bacon, crumbled; ½ cup shredded cheddar; extra dill for garnish

Instructions

  • Add potatoes to a large pot, cover with cold salted water, and bring to a boil. Simmer 12–15 minutes until just tender. Drain and cool until warm enough to handle. Peel if desired, then cut into ¾-inch chunks.

  • Whisk mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, vinegar, relish, paprika, celery seed, 1 tsp salt, and pepper in a large bowl until smooth and creamy.

  • Add warm potatoes to the bowl and gently toss to coat so they absorb the dressing.

  • Fold in eggs, celery, onion, and dill. Taste and adjust salt and pepper.

  • Garnish with dill and a pinch of paprika. Chill at least 4 hours or overnight before serving for best flavor.

Notes

  • Make it lighter: Swap up to half the mayo with plain Greek yogurt.

  • Texture tip: Combine potatoes while still warm for maximum flavor absorption.

  • Serving idea: Pairs beautifully with grilled salmon, BBQ chicken, or veggie skewers.

  • Storage: Refrigerate in an airtight container up to 7 days. Do not freeze.
