Ingredients

5 medium Yukon gold or yellow potatoes peeled, cubed into bite size pieces
4 large hard boiled eggs cooled, sliced into small pieces
¾ cup mayonnaise
1 ½ tablespoons apple cider vinegar
½ medium yellow onion chopped
½ teaspoon dried dill 1 teaspoon fresh
salt & pepper to taste
paprika for garnish

Instructions

Cook potatoes on high in a large pot of water with a teaspoon of salt. Boil until the potatoes are just fork tender. Do not over cook or they will be too soft.
Drain and rinse with cold water. Let the potatoes cool completely.
Add potatoes and diced cooked eggs to a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, mix together mayonnaise and vinegar. Add to the potatoes and stir to coat them.
Gently fold in the onion and dill. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Garnish with paprika when ready to serve.

Notes

To nicely season the potatoes, add 1 tablespoon of salt to potato cooking water.

To help the potatoes hold their shape, add a little vinegar to the cooked potatoes.

If you're in a pinch for time, place the eggs and potatoes gently in a bowl of cold water once they're done cooking, to chill quicker.

Instead of mayo, Greek yogurt, or sour cream, go ahead and invite Miracle Whip to the party for ultra-creaminess!

Since the best potato salad is all about flavor, add in some celery seed, mustard, and any other crunchy stuff (i.e. celery, sweet pickles, dill pickles, red onions) you love to really give it that WOW factor!

If you're not a fan of dill, don't be afraid to ditch the dill and switch it up with sweet relish, bread & butter pickles or even get a little zippy and throw some spicy pickle in there!

Add plenty of fresh herbs such as parsley, dill, basil, and/or chives to make this potato salad extra savory. You really can't go wrong with fresh herbs!

For the BEST flavor, seal and refrigerate overnight!
