Kitchen Equipment You’ll Need
- Large pot

- Whisk
Ingredients
- 4 pounds of potatoes (about 8 large)
- 12 hard-boiled eggs
- 1½ cups mayo
- ¼ cup mustard
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons dill relish
Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large pot, boil the potatoes with enough water to cover them. Cook just until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and place them in a bowl to chill in the refrigerator. Once cooled enough to handle but still warm, peel using a paring knife, then cube the potatoes.
- Peel and slice the hard-boiled eggs in half. Place the yolks in a mixing bowl, and set aside the egg whites.
- Mash the egg yolks, similar to preparing deviled eggs.
- Add mayo, mustard, and vinegar to the mashed egg yolks. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
- Fold in the dill relish into the egg yolk mixture.
- Chop the egg whites and add them to the potatoes. Gently toss to combine.
- Add the egg mixture to the potatoes and gently stir to coat the potatoes evenly.
- Chill before serving.
Tips for Success
For the best results, use potatoes that are still slightly warm when you peel and cube them. This helps them absorb the flavors more effectively. Be gentle when stirring the eggs and potatoes to maintain their texture.
Additional Tips and Variations
Consider adding a dash of paprika for a bit of color and extra flavor. You can also mix in some chopped green onions or celery for added crunch. For a healthier version, substitute half the mayo with Greek yogurt.
