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 22.5 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

  1. 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.
  2. Cut potatoes: Chop cooled potatoes into ¾-inch chunks and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
  3. Make dressing: In a separate bowl, mix sour cream, mayo, onion, celery, vinegar, mustard, celery salt, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  4. Combine: Add eggs and dill to the potatoes, pour in dressing, and gently fold until well combined.
  5. Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for best flavor).
  6. 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.
