Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs red potatoes scrubbed and cut into bite-sized chunks
  • 2 cloves garlic peeled
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup dill pickles finely chopped
  • 1 medium shallot finely minced
  • 1/2 red bell pepper finely diced
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 tablespoon dill pickle juice
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Place the potatoes and garlic cloves in a large pot of salted water. Boil them for 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are just fork-tender.
  • Drain the potatoes and let them cool for a bit. Once the garlic is cool enough to handle, mash it into a paste using the back of a spoon or a knife.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, mashed garlic, chopped dill pickles, shallot, bell pepper, fresh dill, parsley, and pickle juice.
  • Add the slightly cooled potatoes to the bowl and gently stir everything together until the potatoes are fully coated in the dressing.
  • Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Let the salad chill in the fridge for at least an hour so the flavors can meld together.
  • If desired, garnish with extra fresh herbs or a few extra bits of diced bell pepper before serving.

Notes

Chef Jenn’s Tips

  • Cut the potatoes into even, bite-sized chunks before boiling, and spread them out on a baking sheet to cool. This helps the potatoes dry out, preventing your salad from getting too watery.
  • It’s best to make this salad a few hours in advance—overnight in the fridge works wonders for the flavor.
  • This recipe is easily doubled or tripled if you’re feeding a crowd!
