Equipment

  • large pots
  • colander
  • mixing bowl
  • spatula

Ingredients
  

For the base

  • 4.5 lb potatoes (Yukon Gold) for a creamier texture and better shape
  • 14 large eggs for hard boiling

For the dressing

  • 1.75 cups mayonnaise Hellmann's for the best consistency
  • cup mustard
  • 3 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2.5 tablespoon dill relish
  • ½ teaspoon granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • salt to taste
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Cooking Process

  • Bring two large pots of salted water to a boil. In one pot, add halved potatoes and cook for 15-18 minutes until fork-tender but still holding their shape. In the second pot, gently lower eggs and boil for 12 minutes.
  • Drain the potatoes and let them cool for 5 minutes. While they cool, transfer eggs to an ice bath. Once potatoes are cool, peel and cut into bite-sized cubes. Peel eggs and separate the whites from the yolks.
  • Mash egg yolks until smooth. Add mayonnaise, mustard, and vinegar; stir until uniform. Fold in dill relish, sugar, and onion powder.
  • Chop egg whites and add to potatoes. Pour dressing over and fold gently until coated. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Transfer to a serving dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes

The salad can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
