Ingredients
  

2 pounds baby potatoes, halved or quartered

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

1 cup mayonnaise

1 cup sour cream

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried dill)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup celery, diced

1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped

4 hard-boiled eggs, chopped (optional)

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (optional)

Instructions
 

Cook the Potatoes: Place the halved or quartered baby potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Cook until tender but firm, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool.

    Prepare the Dressing: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar (if using), garlic powder, onion powder, fresh dill, salt, and pepper. Mix well until creamy and smooth.

      Combine Ingredients: Once the potatoes are cool, add them to the bowl with the dressing. Gently fold in the diced dill pickles, celery, red onion, and chopped hard-boiled eggs (if using). Mix until everything is evenly coated.

        Taste and Adjust: Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or dill as needed.

          Chill: Cover the potato salad and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

            Garnish and Serve: Before serving, give the salad a gentle stir and garnish with additional diced dill pickles and fresh dill on top. Enjoy!
