Steps
Boil Potatoes
Wash the potatoes thoroughly, then place them unpeeled in a large pot. Cover with cold water, add plenty of salt, and cook until tender (about 20-25 minutes) over medium heat. Drain, let cool, then peel and cut into approximately 1.5-2 cm (0.6-0.8 inch) cubes.
Prepare Dressing
While the potatoes are cooling, prepare the dressing. In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, sugar, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
Assemble Salad
Add the diced potatoes, finely chopped red onion, and diced dill pickles to the dressing. Gently fold everything together until all potato cubes are coated with the dressing. Finally, stir in the chopped fresh parsley.
Chill and Serve
Cover the salad with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow the flavors to fully meld. Stir again before serving and re-season if needed.
Extra Tips
► For the best flavor, let the salad chill in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours for the flavors to meld.
► If you like spicier flavors, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a little hot paprika.
► Do not overcook the potatoes, as they can fall apart and the salad's texture will not be right.
