How to Make Kristina's Potato Salad

  1. Boil 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes until tender. Peel and dice into ½-inch cubes.
  2. While potatoes cook, hard-boil 6 large eggs. Peel and chop.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the diced potatoes, chopped eggs, 1 cup finely chopped celery, ½ cup finely chopped red onion, ½ cup frozen peas (thawed), and ½ cup chopped fresh dill.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Gently fold the mayonnaise mixture into the potato mixture until well combined.
  6. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
  7. (Optional) Serve on a bed of fresh spinach, garnished with Kalamata olives and lemon wedges.
