Ingredients
  

2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and diced

1 cup dill pickles, diced

1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped

1 cup mayonnaise

1/2 cup sour cream

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped

3 hard-boiled eggs, chopped (optional)

Instructions
 

Cook the Potatoes: Place the diced Yukon Gold potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain and let them cool slightly.

    Prepare the Dressing: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Whisk together until smooth and well combined.

      Combine Ingredients: To the dressing, add the cooled potatoes, diced dill pickles, red onion, and fresh dill. If using, add the chopped hard-boiled eggs. Gently fold all the ingredients together until the potatoes are evenly coated with the dressing.

        Taste and Adjust: Taste the potato salad and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or additional dill if desired.

          Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the potato salad for at least 2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld together.

            Serve: Before serving, give the potato salad a gentle stir. Optionally, garnish with additional fresh dill or extra chopped dill pickles for presentation.
