For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of chopped fresh dill or a pinch of smoked paprika to the mayonnaise mixture. Yukon Gold potatoes are preferred for their creamy texture, but other varieties like red potatoes or russets can also be used. Adjust cooking time accordingly. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. A touch of sugar or vinegar can balance the tanginess to your liking. This potato salad can be made a day ahead of time. Just be sure to store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn two separate pots, bring water to a rolling boil. Gently place the cubed potatoes in one pot and the eggs in the other. Cook until the potatoes are tender but not mushy, and the eggs are hard-boiled (about 20 minutes).
02
StepCarefully transfer the potatoes and eggs to a large bowl filled with ice water. Allow them to cool completely. This chilling process is crucial for stopping the cooking and preventing a mushy texture.
03
StepOnce cooled, dice the potatoes and place them in a large mixing bowl. Peel the eggs, halve them, and carefully separate the yolks from the whites. Place the yolks in a separate medium bowl. Dice the egg whites and add them to the potatoes.
04
StepTo the potato mixture, add the finely diced red onion and dill pickles. The pickle juice will add an extra zing to the salad.
05
StepIn the bowl with the egg yolks, add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped chives, and black pepper. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Season with salt to taste.
06
StepGently fold the mayonnaise mixture into the potato mixture, ensuring that everything is evenly coated. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the potatoes mushy.
07
StepCover the potato salad and refrigerate for at least 10 to 15 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
