Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds yukon gold potatoes, cut into ½-inch pieces
  • ¾ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons dill pickle brine
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 2 garlic cloves, grated
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • ½ cup diced dill pickles
  • ½ cup chopped fresh chives
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
  • 2 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped, optional

Instructions

  1. Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water by 1 inch.
  2. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes, or until fork-tender.
  3. Drain and set aside to cool to room temperature.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, pickle brine, apple cider vinegar, mustard, garlic, salt, and several grinds of pepper to make the dressing.
  5. Place the cooled potatoes in a large bowl and add the dressing.
  6. Stir to coat, mashing the potatoes slightly to achieve a creamy texture.
  7. Fold in the celery, chopped pickles, chives, dill, and hard-boiled eggs if using.
  8. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour, or up to 1 day before serving.
  9. Season to taste and serve. Leftover potato salad can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Notes

This salad can be made a day in advance for optimal flavor.
Adjust the seasoning to your preference for the perfect taste.
For extra creaminess, add a bit more mayonnaise or yogurt.
