Best Classic Potato Salad

Side Dishes

If you're looking for a classic, no-fuss potato salad to bring to all your summer picnics and BBQs, your search stops here. Based off of my dad's recipe, this potato salad checks off all the boxes: it's creamy and tangy, with a little bit of crunch from the onion and pickles. What it's not: too sweet, which is one of my potato salad pet peeves.

Ingredients

  • 3 lb. 

    Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1/2" pieces

  • Kosher salt

  • 1 

    small red onion, finely chopped

  • 1 1/2 c. 

    mayonnaise

  • 1/4 c. 

    chopped dill pickles

  • 1 tbsp. 

    Dijon mustard

  • 1 tbsp. 

    fresh lemon juice

  • 1/2 tsp. 

    paprika

  • 4 

    hard-boiled eggs, chopped

  • 1/4 c. 

    finely sliced chives

  • Freshly ground black pepper

Description
