Ingredients
  

2 pounds baby potatoes (Yukon Gold or Red)

1 cup dill pickles, diced (plus extra for garnish)

1 cup celery, finely chopped

1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped

1 cup mayonnaise

1/2 cup sour cream

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped (or 2 teaspoons dried dill)

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Salt and pepper, to taste

Paprika, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Potatoes: Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut any large ones in half. Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and allow to cool slightly.

    Mix the Dressing: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, fresh dill, apple cider vinegar, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk until smooth and creamy.

      Combine Ingredients: Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle but still warm, cut them into bite-sized pieces. Add the warm potatoes to the bowl with the dressing, then add the diced pickles, chopped celery, and red onion.

        Toss Gently: Using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, gently fold all the ingredients together until every potato is coated in the creamy dressing. Be careful not to mash the potatoes.

          Taste and Adjust: Give the salad a taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or vinegar if desired.

            Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.

              Serve: Before serving, give the salad a gentle stir, garnish with extra diced pickles and a sprinkle of paprika if desired. Enjoy!
