Ingredients

2 pounds small Yukon gold potatoes
2 large eggs
Kosher salt
1/2 bunch sliced scallions, white and green parts
2 tablespoons drained capers
2 cups mayonnaise
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup finely chopped dill pickles with 1/4 cup juice, about 2 pickles
1/2 small red onion, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/2 bunch dill, chopped
1/2 lemon, juiced
Freshly ground black pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling

Directions

Put the potatoes and eggs into a big saucepan of cold salted water. Bring to a simmer. After 12 minutes remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and let cool. Continue cooking the potatoes until a paring knife poked into them goes in without resistance, about 3 minutes longer. Drain the potatoes in a colander and let them cool.

Reserve some scallion greens and capers for garnish. Meanwhile, stir together the mayonnaise, mustard, pickles and their juice, onion, remaining scallions and capers, parsley, and lemon juice in a bowl large enough to hold the potatoes. Peel the cool eggs and grate them into the bowl. Stick a fork into the potatoes and lift them 1 at a time out of the colander. Break up the potatoes by hand into rough chunks, add them to the bowl and toss to coat with the dressing. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Drizzle with a little olive oil before serving.

The Reviews Don't Lie
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I just finished making the Potato Salad and must admit that it inspired to me register on the site so I could post a review. ... My wife came home from work and I immediately served her a bowl. Then she asked for a second. She said it is the best potato salad she has ever had! I doubled the recipe but only use 75% of the mayonnaise called for (3 cups). It seemed soupy at first but was the perfect consistency after 30 minutes of refrigeration. This will become my new signature dish for summer parties. Thanks Tyler!Read more

It was so tasty! My husband had one bite and said it was the best thing he ever ate, and he is a picky eater.

Very Good!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is a very good potato salad. I used sweet relish instead of dill pickles and did not use chopped dill. My husband did... not like it this creamy so I will cut the dressing in half next time.Read more

This is the Ultimate!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Just watching this episode and have to write...I've made this recipe a number of times and it's the best. I leave out the... pickles 'cause my husband doesn't like them, but it's still the greatest potato salad. He brought some to work and it was unanimously named the "best potato salad they'd ever eaten!"Read more
