Notes
Warm potatoes absorb dressing better than cold potatoes.
Yukon Gold potatoes create a creamy texture while still holding shape.
Apple cider vinegar brightens the dressing and balances the richness of the mayonnaise and eggs.
For stronger dill flavor, add additional fresh dill just before serving.
