Ingredients
2.5–3 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
1/2 cup mayonnaise (use vegan mayo for egg-free version)
1/3 cup sour cream
1/3 cup dill pickle relish
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
1 teaspoon celery salt (or celery seed)
1/2 teaspoon paprika
2–3 celery stalks, diced
1/2 cup red onion, diced
1 tablespoon fresh chopped dill
1 tablespoon fresh chives
1/4 cup chopped green onions
4 tablespoons smoky crumbles
Salt and pepper to taste (about 3/4 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper)
Instructions
- Peel and quarter the potatoes. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water about 1 inch above the potatoes.
- Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, add 1 tablespoon salt and cook for 13–15 minutes, until fork-tender.
- Meanwhile, prepare the dressing. In a medium bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sour cream, dill pickle relish, mustard, apple cider vinegar, celery, red onion, dill, chives, and green onions. Stir until well combined.
- Drain the cooked potatoes and transfer them to a large bowl.
- Gently fold in the dressing, coating all the potatoes evenly. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Top with smoky crumbles, extra dill, and a sprinkle of paprika for garnish.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Notes
Yukon Gold potatoes work best for their creamy yet firm texture.
For a lighter version, replace half the mayo with Greek yogurt.
To make it vegan, use vegan mayo and dairy-free sour cream and omit smoky crumbles.
Chill for at least 4 hours to enhance the flavor and texture.
Keep refrigerated and serve cold; do not freeze.
