How do you make dill pickle potato salad?
The most tedious part of this whole recipe is peeling the potatoes, the rest of it is easy.
Step 1: Boil the potatoes until a fork inserts into them easily. Set aside to cool completely then cut potatoes into chunks.
Step 2: Prepare the hard boiled eggs by cutting them into pieces. In a large bowl, combine the potatoes and the hard boiled eggs.
Step 3: To make the sauce: in a medium bowl, combine the mayo, Hiland sour cream, red onions, celery salt, pickle juice, dill pickle relish, chives, dill, and salt and pepper. Stir together to combine.
Step 4: Pour the creamy sauce over the potatoes and eggs and then stir to get everything coated in the sauce. Top with extra chives, dill, or more pickle relish.
Tips for Cooking Potatoes
The hardest part of making potato salad is the potatoes, but also a very important part and definitely worth it.
You can leave the peel on if you would rather leave it on in your salad, it doesn’t change the flavor at all and makes it a bit more rustic. Totally a personal preference.
You can either peel the potatoes before you boil or after.
If you peel the potatoes after- boil until done then transfer potatoes into a bowl of cold water and let sit for a few minutes. Then you can peel the potatoes by hand and they will more easily be removed.
If peeling before cooking- you can also dice potatoes prior to boiling. Also transfer cooked potatoes to a bowl of cold water to stop the cooking process.
Can You Make This Salad Ahead of Time?
Absolutely! I suggest preparing the sauce ahead of time, and storing it separate from the potatoes and eggs. Then pour over and combine when ready to serve.
You can also store the completed pickle salad in an airtight container for about 2-3 days.
