Instructions

Cook the potatoes: In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the peeled and chopped red potatoes to a boil. Cook until they are tender but still firm when pierced with a fork, about 13 minutes. Drain the potatoes thoroughly and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Add the chopped hard-boiled eggs to the potatoes.
Prepare the dressing: In a separate bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, diced onion, dill pickle relish, Dijon mustard, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dill weed. Mix the ingredients well until the dressing is smooth and evenly blended.
Combine salad and dressing: Pour the dressing over the cooked potatoes and eggs in the large mixing bowl. Gently fold the ingredients together to coat the potatoes and eggs evenly with the dressing without mashing them.
Chill before serving: Cover the bowl and store the potato salad in the refrigerator. For best flavor and texture, let it chill for a few hours before serving so the flavors can meld beautifully.

Notes

Use red potatoes for their firm texture that holds up well in salad without turning mushy.
Chilling the salad for a few hours or overnight enhances the flavors.
You can add chopped celery or fresh herbs like parsley for extra crunch and freshness.
If desired, substitute mayonnaise with a lighter version or Greek yogurt for a healthier option.
Adjust seasoning to taste before serving, especially salt and pepper.
