Techniques
  • 3 lb Yukon Gold potatoes
Cut 3 lb potatoes, skin on, into 3/4 to 1 inch pieces and put them in a large pot.
Choosing and cutting the potatoes
  • water
  • 2 tsp salt
Cover with about two inches of water, add 2 tsp salt, bring to a boil, then simmer 10 to 15 minutes until fork tender.
  • 2 stalks celery
  • ¼ cup fresh herbs (dill and parsley)
  • ½ cup red onion
  • hard-boiled eggs
  • ½ cup pickles
Chop 2 stalks of celery, about 1/4 cup of dill and parsley finely, 1/2 cup red onion finely diced, and 1/2 cup pickles finely.
Roughly chop hard-boiled eggs in large pieces, as they break up further when mixed.
Hard-boiled eggs
Drain the potatoes in a colander and spread them on a sheet pan so the steam escapes and they dry.
Soak the red onion in about 2 tbsp vinegar in a medium bowl for 10 minutes to take off its bite.
Deflaming the red onion
  • 2 tbsp vinegar
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
After 10 minutes of cooling, transfer the potatoes to a big mixing bowl, drizzle with 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar and toss.
  • ½ cup mayo
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
Stir 1/2 cup mayo, 1/2 cup sour cream, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper into the onions to make the dressing.
Mixing the dressing
Add the celery, pickles and eggs to the potatoes, add the dressing and stir gently to coat without breaking them; a splash of pickle juice is optional.
  • paprika
Fold in the herbs, reserving some to sprinkle on top, and garnish with paprika.
