• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 (2-pound) bag diced frozen hash browns (about 900 grams)
• 1 1/2 cups mayonnaise (360 ml)
• 1/4 cup refrigerated sweet pickle relish (60 ml)
• 2 tablespoons yellow mustard (30 ml)
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (15 ml)
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika

How To Make Pioneer Woman Hash Brown Potato Salad

1. Cook the potatoes: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the diced frozen hash browns and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, just until they are tender.
2. Cool the potatoes: Drain the hash browns thoroughly in a colander. Spread them out in a single layer on a baking sheet to cool for about 10 minutes.
3. Mix the dressing: While the potatoes cool, combine the mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, paprika, diced celery, chopped hard-boiled eggs, sliced green onions, and fresh dill in a large bowl. Mix well.
4. Combine and chill: Gently fold the cooled hash browns into the dressing until everything is evenly coated. Transfer the salad to a serving bowl, cover, and chill for at least 1 hour.
5. Garnish and serve: Just before serving, garnish with extra green onions and dill.

Recipe Tips

• How do I keep my potato salad from getting watery? It is crucial to let the cooked hash browns cool completely before mixing them with the mayonnaise dressing. Adding warm potatoes will cause the dressing to become thin and watery.
• Can I make this ahead of time? Yes, this salad is perfect for making ahead. In fact, it tastes even better after chilling in the refrigerator for at least an hour, as this gives the flavors time to meld together.
• How do I get the best flavor? Using fresh herbs like dill and green onions will give your salad a much brighter, fresher taste than dried herbs. Also, don’t be afraid to taste the dressing before adding the potatoes and adjust the seasonings to your liking.
• Why use frozen hash browns? This is the ultimate shortcut for potato salad! Using diced frozen hash browns saves you all the time you would normally spend peeling and chopping potatoes.
