Today I'm sharing my Mom's Best Ever Classic Potato Salad recipe! Skip the store bought because this recipe blows it out of the water.This is a classic southern-style potato salad recipe with chopped eggs, pickles, celery, onion, and fresh dill with a creamy mayonnaise-based dressing. This recipe has been passed down in my family for decades and once you try it, you'll see why!
Boil the potatoes. Place the chopped potatoes in a pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are very soft. Drain and cool slightly.
Mix the dressing. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, red wine vinegar, sugar, celery seed, paprika, and fresh dill. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Fold in the ingredients. Use a rubber spatula to fold in the shallot, green onion, pickle, celery, and chopped eggs. Gently fold in the potatoes and season again to taste.
Refrigerate. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight so that the flavors have time to meld. Toss the potato salad again before serving and sprinkle with more fresh dill and paprika.
Notes
* Trader Joe's yellow dill pickle mustard is my new favorite for this recipe!
