Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 pounds small Yukon gold potatoes
2 large eggs
Kosher salt
1/2 bunch sliced scallions, white and green parts
2 tablespoons drained capers
2 cups mayonnaise
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup finely chopped dill pickles with 1/4 cup juice, about 2 pickles
1/2 small red onion, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/2 bunch dill, chopped
1/2 lemon, juiced
Freshly ground black pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling

Steps:

  • Put the potatoes and eggs into a big saucepan of cold salted water. Bring to a simmer. After 12 minutes remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and let cool. Continue cooking the potatoes until a paring knife poked into them goes in without resistance, about 3 minutes longer. Drain the potatoes in a colander and let them cool.
  • Reserve some scallion greens and capers for garnish. Meanwhile, stir together the mayonnaise, mustard, pickles and their juice, onion, remaining scallions and capers, parsley, and lemon juice in a bowl large enough to hold the potatoes. Peel the cool eggs and grate them into the bowl. Stick a fork into the potatoes and lift them 1 at a time out of the colander. Break up the potatoes by hand into rough chunks, add them to the bowl and toss to coat with the dressing. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Drizzle with a little olive oil before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: For a golden potato salad, use small, waxy potatoes that hold their shape well, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss potatoes.
  • Boil the potatoes until tender: To ensure even cooking, place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Drain the potatoes thoroughly: After boiling, drain the potatoes in a colander and let them cool slightly before cutting them into bite-sized pieces.
  • Make the dressing: While the potatoes are cooking, make the dressing by whisking together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. For a tangier dressing, add a squeeze of lemon juice.
  • Combine the potatoes and dressing: In a large bowl, combine the cooked potatoes, dressing, onion, and celery. Gently toss to coat the potatoes evenly.
  • Chill the salad before serving: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving. Chilling the salad allows the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Garnish before serving: Before serving, garnish the salad with chopped fresh parsley or chives. You can also add a sprinkle of paprika or cayenne pepper for a touch of color and spice.
