A tangy and creamy potato salad featuring dill pickles and fresh herbs, perfect for quick meals and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold or red potatoes, scrubbed and cut into bite-sized chunks
  • 1 cup finely chopped dill pickles
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill (or 1 tablespoon dried dill)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Place the chopped potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water by about an inch. Add a pinch of salt. Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until tender but still firm when poked with a fork, about 12-15 minutes.
  2. Drain the potatoes in a colander and let them cool for about 10 minutes until warm but not hot.
  3. While potatoes cool, finely chop the dill pickles, fresh dill, parsley, and green onions.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth. Adjust seasoning and add a teaspoon of pickle juice if dressing is too thick.
  5. Gently fold the potatoes, pickles, herbs, and dressing together in a large bowl, being careful not to mash the potatoes.
  6. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to let flavors meld. Stir in more mayo or pickle juice if salad seems dry after chilling.

Notes

Do not overcook potatoes to avoid mushy texture. Let potatoes cool before mixing with dressing to maintain creaminess. Fresh herbs provide best flavor but dried dill can be substituted. Adjust seasoning to taste. For vegan or dairy-free versions, use vegan mayo and dairy-free yogurt alternatives.
