Description
This creamy dill potato salad with eggs is a classic side dish featuring tender red potatoes, chopped hard-boiled eggs, and a tangy, herby dressing made with sour cream, mayo, and dill. It’s the perfect make-ahead salad for picnics, potlucks, and summer gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 10 unpeeled red potatoes (about 2–2.5 pounds)
- ¾ cup sour cream
- ¾ cup mayonnaise
- ½ white onion, finely chopped
- 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon celery salt
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 5 hard-boiled eggs, roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon dried dill weed (or 3 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped)
Instructions
- Cook potatoes: Place whole potatoes in a large pot, cover with salted cold water, bring to a boil, and simmer for 20 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and let cool.
- Cut potatoes: Chop cooled potatoes into ¾-inch chunks and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
- Make dressing: In a separate bowl, mix sour cream, mayo, onion, celery, vinegar, mustard, celery salt, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Combine: Add eggs and dill to the potatoes, pour in dressing, and gently fold until well combined.
- Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for best flavor).
- Serve: Stir gently before serving and adjust seasoning as needed.
Notes
- Start potatoes in cold water to ensure even cooking.
- Don’t overcook potatoes — fork-tender is ideal.
- Use fresh dill if available for extra vibrancy (3x the dried amount).
- Potato salad improves in flavor after a few hours in the fridge.
