The method

Step by step

  1. 1

    Place the scrubbed potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook for 20-25 minutes, until easily pierced with a fork.

    About 25 min

    Cook’s note: Using waxy potatoes like red or new potatoes helps them hold their shape after cooking.

  2. 2

    While the potatoes cook, place the eggs in a separate saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then immediately turn off the heat, cover the pan, and let the eggs sit for 11 minutes.

    About 15 min

    Cook’s note: Starting eggs in cold water helps prevent them from cracking as they cook.

  3. 3

    Drain the cooked eggs and transfer them to a bowl of ice water to cool completely. Drain the cooked potatoes and allow them to cool until they are comfortable to handle.

    About 10 min

    Cook’s note: The ice bath stops the eggs from overcooking and makes them easier to peel.

  4. 4

    Peel the cooled potatoes and cut them into 2cm cubes. Peel the hard-boiled eggs, slice them in half, and scoop the yolks into a medium bowl. Finely chop the egg whites.

    About 8 min

  5. 5

    To the bowl of egg yolks, add the white wine vinegar and Dijon mustard. Mash with a fork until a smooth paste forms.

    About 2 min

    Cook’s note: Mashing the yolks with the liquid first prevents lumps in your final dressing.

  6. 6

    Stir the mayonnaise, sour cream, celery seed, salt, and ground black pepper into the yolk mixture until the dressing is smooth and creamy.

    About 2 min

  7. 7

    In a large bowl, combine the cubed potatoes, chopped egg whites, celery, red onion, and pimentos.

    About 1 min

  8. 8

    Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and gently fold everything together until just combined, being careful not to mash the potatoes.

    About 2 min

    Cook’s note: Use a large rubber spatula for folding to keep the potatoes intact.

  9. 9

    Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Garnish with paprika and chives before serving, if using.

    About 30 min

    Cook’s note: The salad tastes even better if allowed to chill for a few hours or overnight.
