Recipe Makes (Approximate): 12 servings

Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Large bowl
  • Large wooden spoon or silicone spatula
  • Food processor

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds small red potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon salt (+ 1 teaspoon)
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • ½ cup green onions (roughly chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons capers (optional)
  • 4 hard boiled eggs (yolks only)
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • ¼ cup dill (fresh, chopped)
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)

Instructions

  • In large pot of salted water, boil potatoes 20-30 minutes. Potatoes should be soft enough to slide off the tines of a fork, and the skins will begin to break away from the potato when cut. Drain, then cut potatoes into halves, then quarters. Place in bowl and toss with vinegar.
  • Add green onions and capers (optional) to food processor. Process until finely chopped.
  • Add hard boiled yolks, sour cream, mayonnaise, mustard, dill, pepper, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Process until creamy.
  • Pour egg yolk mixture over the potatoes. Stir and mash potatoes with back of spoon or potato masher. I prefer some mashed potatoes with some large chunks of potatoes mixed in. Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours or overnight, then serve.

Recipe Notes

  • Gluten free: Ensure Dijon mustard does not contain wheat or wheat byproducts.
  • Potatoes: Red potatoes highly recommended, otherwise use waxy potatoes such as new potatoes and fingerlings. Do not use starchy potatoes such as russet.
