What’s in Dill Pickle Potato Salad?

  • Potatoes: The best potatoes are Yukon gold or red potatoes. They hold their shape well after boiling and have a creamy, tender texture that pairs perfectly with the tangy dressing.
  • Dressing: Creamy mayonnaise, tangy dill pickle juice, yellow mustard, and dried dill create a bold flavored dressing. Celery salt and black pepper add a savory touch that balances the richness.

Equipment

Ingredients  

  • 3 pounds Yukon gold potatoes or red potatoes
  • ½ cup dill pickle juice
  • 1 ½ cups diced celery
  • 1 cup dill pickles chopped
  • 4 hard boiled eggs chopped
  • 2 green onions thinly sliced

For the Dressing

  • 1 ¼ cups mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoons dill pickle juice
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 2 teaspoons dried dill
  • ½ teaspoon celery salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions 

  • Chop the potatoes into ¾-inch pieces. Add them to a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium high and cook until tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Drain the potatoes well and transfer to a large bowl. Toss warm potatoes with ½ cup of pickle juice. Cool completely. (The potatoes will absorb the pickle juice as they cool.)
  • In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, 3 tablespoons pickle juice, mustard, dill, celery salt, and black pepper.
  • Add pickles, celery, eggs, and green onions. Mix well. Add the cooled potatoes and stir to coat.
  • Refrigerate at least two hours before serving.

Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
