Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the diced potatoes, chopped red onion, and diced dill pickles.
- In a separate bowl, prepare the dressing. Whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.
- Gradually pour the dressing over the potato mixture. Gently toss to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
- Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This allows the flavors to infuse into the potatoes and creates a more robust flavor profile.
- Before serving, sprinkle the salad with fresh dill for added freshness and a pop of color. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- Enjoy your homemade Kold Kartoffelsalat as a standalone meal or as a side dish at your next summer gathering!
