  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4-6

Ingredients

Units
  • 1 lb red-skinned potatoes
  • 1 cup mayonnaise (can also use Greek yogurt, or a combination)
  • 2 Tbsp spicy brown mustard
  • 12 Tbsp prepared jarred horseradish
  • ¼ cup chopped kosher dill pickles (can also use thinly sliced cornichons)
  • 23 Tbsp chopped fresh dill
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ⅛ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp caraway seeds
  • additional dill for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together mayo, mustard, horseradish, pickles, dill, salt, pepper and caraway seeds. Set aside.
  3. Add potatoes to boiling water and cook 10-12 minutes, or until they are fork tender.
  4. Rinse potatoes immediately in cold water. Drain and repeat.
