Dill Pickle Potato Salad (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Potatoes

01 - 3 pounds red potatoes, cut into small cubes
02 - 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
03 - 2 tablespoons (1-ounce packet) dry ranch seasoning
04 - ½ teaspoon dried dill weed

→ Salad

05 - 1 small red onion, finely diced (about ½ cup)
06 - 8 pieces bacon, cooked, diced
07 - 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and chopped
08 - 1 cup (143 g) finely diced dill pickles
09 - 1 cup (232 g) mayonnaise
10 - 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
11 - ¼ cup (60 g) dill pickle juice
12 - ½ teaspoon dried dill weed
13 - ½ teaspoon kosher salt
14 - ¼ teaspoon pepper

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray. In a large bowl, combine potatoes, olive oil, dry ranch seasoning, and dill weed. Toss to coat completely. Spread the potatoes evenly on the prepared baking sheet and bake uncovered for 45-60 minutes, or until crispy, flipping after 30 minutes. Allow roasted potatoes to cool for at least 15 minutes.
02 - In a large bowl, combine the warm roasted potatoes, red onion, bacon, chopped eggs, dill pickles, mayonnaise, mustard, dill pickle juice, dried dill weed, salt, and pepper. Stir gently with a spatula until the ingredients are evenly mixed, ensuring every potato is coated. Optionally, reserve 1-2 eggs for garnish.
03 - The salad can be served warm or refrigerated in an airtight container until ready to serve. Optionally, sprinkle with chopped dill before serving.

# Notes:

01 - If refrigerating, the flavors will meld together, enhancing the taste.
