Ingredients
  

For the Salad
  • 2 pounds russet potatoes perfect for a creamy texture; choose fresh ones for the best flavor
  • 1 cup diced cooked chicken adds protein and heartiness; leftover rotisserie chicken works great
  • 1 cup crunchy pickles provide a tangy crunch; dill pickles can be a flavorful substitute
  • 3 units hard-boiled eggs enrich the salad with creaminess and nutrients; make sure they are well-cooked
  • 1 cup thawed frozen peas add a touch of sweetness and bright color; fresh peas can be used if in season
For the Dressing
  • 1 cup creamy mayonnaise binds everything together in luscious richness; Greek yogurt can lighten it up
  • ½ cup freshly chopped dill infuses the salad with aromatic freshness; you can use dried dill if fresh isn’t available
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt enhances all the flavors beautifully; adjust to your taste preferences
  • ¼ teaspoon coarse ground black pepper introduces a little warmth and depth; freshly ground is always best

Equipment

  • large pot
  • Colander
  • mixing bowl
  • silicone spatula

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Peel and chop the russet potatoes into uniform one-inch chunks and place them into a pot filled with cold water. Bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat and cook for about 8 minutes until fork-tender but not mushy.
  2. Drain the potatoes using a colander and let them sit for about 10 minutes to cool slightly.
  3. While the potatoes are still warm, transfer them to a mixing bowl. Add the mayonnaise and freshly chopped dill, stirring gently to coat the potatoes.
  4. Fold in the chopped hard-boiled eggs, thawed peas, crunchy pickles, and diced cooked chicken, ensuring even distribution.
  5. Using a silicone spatula, gently mix all ingredients while preserving the chunky texture of the potatoes and eggs.
  6. Serve immediately on a chilled plate for optimal flavor and texture.
