A creamy, tangy Estonian potato salad with hard-boiled eggs, pickled cucumbers, fresh dill, and a sour cream dressing — a staple at every celebration.

Ingredients

1kg waxy potatoes
4 hard-boiled eggs, diced
3 pickled cucumbers, diced
1 small onion, finely diced
200ml sour cream
2 tbsp mayonnaise
3 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
1 tsp mustard
Salt and white pepper

Instructions

1 Boil potatoes in salted water until just tender, about 20 min. Cool, peel, and dice into 1cm cubes.
2 Combine potatoes, diced eggs, pickled cucumbers, and onion in a large bowl.
3 Whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper.
4 Pour dressing over the potato mixture and fold gently to coat without breaking the potatoes.
5 Stir in chopped dill, reserving some for garnish.
6 Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. Garnish with dill.
