Instructions
1- Prepare the Potatoes and Eggs:
Place the diced potatoes in a large pot, cover them with cold water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
In another pot, cover the eggs with cold water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat and cover for 10 minutes. Rinse under cold water and peel.
2- Prepare Salad Components:
Drain the cooked potatoes and let them cool for about 15 minutes.
Chop the hard-boiled eggs into small pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled potatoes, chopped eggs, red onion, dill pickles, and pickle relish.
3- Make the Dressing and Assemble the Salad:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and gently stir to coat everything evenly.
4- Final Touches:
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld.
Before serving, sprinkle the fresh parsley over the top for garnish.
