Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and cook for about <strong>8\u201312 minutes<\/strong>, or until the potatoes are tender but still firm enough to hold their shape.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Drain and cool:<\/strong><br \/>\nDrain the potatoes well and let them cool for several minutes. For the best texture, don&#8217;t overcook them.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cook the eggs:<\/strong><br \/>\nPlace the eggs in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat, cover, and let sit for about <strong>10\u201312 minutes<\/strong>. Transfer the eggs to ice water, cool completely, peel, and chop.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make the creamy dressing:<\/strong><br \/>\nIn a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, pickle relish, pickle juice, vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Combine everything:<\/strong><br \/>\nAdd the cooled potatoes, chopped eggs, celery, red onion, and pickles to the dressing. Gently fold everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated. Be careful not to mash the potatoes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chill:<\/strong><br \/>\nCover and refrigerate for at least <strong>1\u20132 hours<\/strong> before serving. Chilling allows all the flavors to blend together.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Finish and serve:<\/strong><br \/>\nSprinkle the top with paprika and a little fresh parsley or dill. Serve cold and enjoy!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>\u00a0Tip<\/h3>\n<p>For an extra-creamy potato salad, reserve a little dressing and stir it in just before serving. The potatoes absorb some of the dressing while chilling, making this trick perfect for keeping the salad creamy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Creamy Homemade Potato Salad Creamy, homemade, and loaded with flavor!
