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.

SO CREAMY
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

THIS HAS SO MANY FLAVORS & SO CREAMY, I REALLY ENJOYED THIS RECIPE, THE YUKON POTAOES ARE SO GOOD IN THIS, THEY DON'T FALL... APART AND THE SKIN STAYS ON, I DID NOT USE ALL THE MAYO IN THE RECIPE, I THINK 1 CUP WOULD BE ENOUGH FOR 2 LBS OF POTAOTOES. ALL IN ALL I WILL MAKE THIS AGAIN, THANK YOU TYLER.Read more

Sorry Mom and Grandma
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Mom and Grandma, god rest their souls, are gone. But I think Tyler won this one. I loved this but maybe I'm a mustard... fanatic. Will make this again for sure. A friend of ours, who is VERY picky even if it looks strange. She loved it. To Julie on the bacon. Try it, why not?! There are many chefs out there who have tried receipes a hundred different ways. You won't know if you don't try. Read more

SO GOOD!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We aren't big potato salad fans, but brought this to an end of Summer/early Fall BBQ and it was a total hit!! We went easier... on the mayo (about 1 1/2 cups) as advised and left out the capers and parsley...it was SO GOOD, even the kids loved it!!!Read more

The Best Potato Salad Ever
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this with a couple of variations due to using what I had in the pantry and fridge, it was delicisous. I used half of... the mayo plus 2 tbs. and finished with sour cream. Also, I used dried parsley and dill, rather than fresh, just because I did not want to run to the market for only fresh. This will be the potato salad I make from now on. We loved it and our friends loved it. Thanks Tyler Florence for the ultimate potato salad!Read more
