Ingredients

  • Cook the Potatoes:
    Peel and dice the potatoes into bite-sized chunks.
    Place them in a large pot, cover with cold salted water, and bring to a boil.
    Reduce heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender but not mushy.
    Drain and let cool slightly.

  • Prepare the Dressing:
    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, mustard, pickle juice, salt, pepper, and paprika until smooth.

  • Assemble the Potato Salad:
    Gently fold in the cooked potatoes, chopped eggs, celery, red onion, and pickles.
    Stir until everything is well coated in the dressing.

  • Chill & Serve:
    Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight) for the best flavor.
    Before serving, sprinkle with extra paprika and fresh herbs.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, let the potato salad chill overnight.
  • You can switch up the pickles with sweet relish for a slightly different taste.
  • If you prefer a lighter version, use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a tangy twist.
