Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, medium-sized, peeled or unpeeled depending on preference
  • ½ cup mayonnaise (120 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • ¼ cup fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, finely diced
  • ½ small red onion, finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 large hard-boiled eggs, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash and peel the Yukon Gold potatoes if preferred. Cut into roughly 1½-inch chunks to ensure even cooking.
  2. Place the cut potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water by about an inch. Add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until tender but still firm, about 12-15 minutes. Drain immediately in a colander and let cool for 10 minutes.
  3. While potatoes cook, finely chop the fresh dill, celery, and red onion. If using, peel and chop the hard-boiled eggs.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  5. Add the cooled potatoes to the bowl with the dressing. Gently fold in the chopped dill, celery, onion, and eggs if using. Be careful not to mash the potatoes.
  6. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour to let flavors meld. Before serving, give it a gentle stir and adjust seasoning if needed.

Notes

Start boiling potatoes in cold water to ensure even cooking. Fold gently when mixing to avoid mashing the potatoes. Let the salad chill for at least an hour to allow flavors to meld. Adjust vinegar and mustard to taste. For a lighter version, substitute half the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt. Vegan options include using vegan mayo and omitting eggs.
