📝 Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 3 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled
- 1/2 cup dill pickle brine, divided
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 6 slices bacon
- 1/3 cup finely sliced chives
- 1/4 cup chopped dill pickles
- 2 stalks celery, chopped
- 1/3 cup crispy fried onions
👩🍳 Directions
Step 1
Gather your ingredients.
Step 2
Place eggs into a small pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then remove from the heat and cover with a lid. Let sit for 10 minutes.
Step 3
Drain eggs and place into an ice bath to cool completely.
Step 4
Peel eggs and cut into quarters, or smaller if you prefer.
Step 5
Peel potatoes and cut into roughly 2-inch chunks.
Step 6
Add potatoes to a large pot of cold water, season the water generously with salt, and add 1/4 cup pickle juice (this helps them to hold together once cooked - you can alternatively use 2 tablespoons white vinegar). Bring to a boil over a high heat, reduce the heat, and simmer until potatoes are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain potatoes and set aside.
Step 7
Meanwhile, make the dressing by stirring together Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, and the remaining 1/4 cup dill pickle brine in a bowl.
Step 8
Pour the dressing over the hot potatoes and stir to coat. Taste and season with salt if needed, then leave to cool.
Step 9
Place bacon into a large skillet and fry over medium heat, turning to crisp both sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove to a chopping board and cut into bite-sized pieces.
Step 10
To the cooled potatoes, add the boiled eggs, celery, chopped dill pickles, most of the bacon, and most of the chives. Mix together until well combined.
Step 11
When ready to serve, transfer the potato salad to a serving dish and garnish with the remaining chives, bacon, and crispy fried onions.
