  • Total Time: 35 mins
  • Yield: 8 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs Gold Potatoes (Cut into 1-inch cubes)
  • 1/2 cup Pepperoncini (Finely chopped)
  • 1 cup Mayonnaise (Use high-quality full fat)
  • 2 stalks Celery (Finely diced)
  • 3 stems Green Onions (Sliced thinly)
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Dill (Chopped finely)
  • 2 tbsp Pepperoncini Brine (Adds bold zest)

Instructions

  1. Place the cubed gold potatoes into a large pot of salted cold water.
  2. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
  4. Drain the potatoes thoroughly in a colander and allow them to cool completely.
  5. Transfer the cooled potatoes to a large mixing bowl to prepare for the dressing.
  6. Whisk the mayonnaise, pepperoncini brine, and fresh dill together in a separate small bowl.
  7. Add the chopped pepperoncini, diced celery, and sliced green onions to the bowl with the potatoes.
  8. Pour the creamy mayonnaise dressing over the potato mixture carefully.
  9. Fold the ingredients together gently to ensure the potatoes remain whole and uncrushed.
  10. Chill the Pepperoncini Potato Salad Recipe in the refrigerator for at least sixty minutes before serving.

Notes

Salt your boiling water generously to ensure the potatoes develop flavor from the inside out during the cooking process. Use a waxy potato variety, such as Yukon Gold, to keep the pieces intact while you toss the Pepperoncini Potato Salad Recipe with the dressing. Always allow your potatoes to reach room temperature before applying the dressing, as hot potatoes will melt the mayonnaise and ruin the creamy consistency. Add the crispy elements, like celery, just before serving if you want to maintain maximum crunch in your final Pepperoncini Potato Salad Recipe. Adjust the heat of your salad by tasting the pepperoncini brine before adding it, as some brands are spicier than others.
