Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs (about 6 cups) Yukon Gold or red potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream (optional, for extra creaminess)
  • 1 tbsp yellow mustard

  • 1/4 cup red onion or green onion, finely diced
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Optional: chopped fresh dill or paprika for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Boil the potatoes: Place diced potatoes in a pot, cover with water, and boil until fork-tender (about 10–12 minutes). Drain and let cool completely.
  2. Make the dressing: In a large bowl, mix mayo, sour cream (if using), mustard, pickle juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Combine ingredients: Add the cooled potatoes, chopped pickles, eggs, and onions to the dressing. Gently mix until well coated.
  4. Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours to allow flavors to meld.
  5. Serve: Garnish with extra dill pickles, fresh dill, or a sprinkle of paprika before serving, if desired.
