Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and quartered
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
  • 1/2 cup chopped dill pickles
  • 2 tablespoons pickle juice (from the jar)
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped celery
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Place the quartered potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold, salted water. Bring the water to a boil and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  2. Drain the potatoes well and let them cool slightly, about 10 minutes. Cut the warm potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
  3. While the potatoes cool, prepare the dressing. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, pickle juice, salt, and pepper.
  4. Add the chopped fresh dill, chives, chopped dill pickles, celery, and red onion to the bowl with the potatoes.
  5. Pour the dressing over the potato mixture. Gently fold everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated. Be careful not to mash the potatoes.
  6. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the potato salad for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld. This is a great make ahead creamy salad.
  7. Taste before serving and adjust salt or pepper if needed. Serve chilled as a perfect picnic side dish idea.

Notes

  • For a tangier potato salad dressing, increase the pickle juice by one tablespoon.
  • If you prefer a less creamy texture, substitute half of the mayonnaise with plain Greek yogurt.
  • This herbaceous potato salad tastes best when made a day ahead.
