Ingredients

  • 10 to 12 small Yukon Gold potatoes (about 3 pounds), halved
  • Pinch of kosher salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup your favorite or Homemade Mayonnaise (page 280)
  • 2 large dill pickles or Jimmys Dills (page 288), diced (about 1 cup)
  • 4 celery stalks, diced
  • 2 scallions, trimmed and diced
  • 3 tablespoons your favorite or Sweet Pickle Relish (page 299)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Dash of hot sauce
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method

  • Place the potatoes in a large saucepan with enough water to cover by about 2 inches.
  • Bring the water to a boil and add the kosher salt.
  • Reduce the heat to a low boil and simmer for 15 to 17 minutes, until the potatoes are just tender.
  • Add the eggs, cover, and steam for 10 minutes more, until the potatoes are tender when pierced with the tip of a small knife.
  • Drain the potatoes and eggs and set aside to cool slightly.
  • Crack and peel the eggs under cold running water, then chop and place in a large bowl with the potatoes.
  • Add the mayonnaise, dill pickles, celery, scallions, pickle relish, dill, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Stir to combine all the ingredients, mashing some of the potatoes with a wooden spoon.
  • Serve slightly warm or at room temperature or refrigerate in an airtight container until ready to serve, for up to 2 days.
  • For Pesto Potato Salad, make this recipe as directed, but in place of the mayonnaise add 1/2 cup Arugula Pesto (page 255).
