Dill Pickle Potato Salad is going to be your favorite summer BBQ side dish! Red potatoes, pickles, and hard boiled eggs tossed in a creamy dill pickle dressing. Everyone will be asking for the recipe!

If you love pickles as much as I do, try Dill Pickle Dip and Dill Pickle Soup!

Is everyone else already in summer mode? We’ve been grilling and making cold salads for dinner pretty much every night. The weather has just been so warm already and then the time change really put us in the summer mood.

I’ve been obsessed with potato salads for the past year or so. I even love a grocery store deli potato salad. There has never been a potato salad that I didn’t love.

But this dill pickle potato salad is extra delicious! It has the usual potato salad ingredients – potatoes, hard boiled eggs, a mayo-based dressing – but it also has fun ingredients.

Like pickles which add a great crunch to an otherwise soft salad. And fresh dill to add some green and some brightness. And the dressing even has pickle juice in it to make sure the pickle flavor really comes through.

I think it will go great with pretty much any barbecue meat, burgers, hot dogs, pretty much anything that you’re putting on the grill this summer.

Ingredients

Red potatoes – I like the pop of color that red potatoes add to this potato salad but you can use gold potatoes if you prefer.
Mayonnaise – this is the base of the creamy dressing that goes on the potato salad.
Pickle juice – use the juice from whatever pickles you are using in recipe.
Onion – you are going to finely chop the onion so you don’t have any huge chunks in the potato salad.
Dijon mustard – I used a grainy mustard because that’s my favorite but you can use regular dijon or even yellow mustard.
Garlic powder – you can use fresh garlic if you prefer.
Fresh dill – you can use dried dill but cut down the amount to about ½.
Salt and pepper – taste your dressing before adding the rest of the ingredients to make sure it’s seasoned to your preference.
Hard boiled eggs – I know eggs in potato salad is a polarizing subject but I think they work really well with the dill flavors in this one.
Pickles – I think a super crunchy pickle is best for this recipe to give a nice textural contrast but use your favorite brand.

How To Make Dill Pickle Potato Salad

Boil potatoes. Place diced potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Boil until fork tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and cool completely.
Make dressing. Whisk together mayonnaise, pickle juice, diced onion, dijon mustard, fresh dill, garlic powder, and salt and pepper.
Combine. Add cooled potatoes, eggs, and pickles to a large mixing bowl. Pour dressing over top and toss to combine.
Chill. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
Serve. Sprinkle with more fresh dill before serving.

How Long Is It Good For?

Potato salad is good for up to 3 – 4 days. Make sure to store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Serve it straight from the fridge when you are ready to enjoy it.

Can You Make It Ahead?

Potato salad is perfect when you need to prep ahead of time because it needs to chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours. You can even make it the night before you plan to serve it if you need to!
