Peel 5 pounds of Yukon Gold potatoes and place them into a large pot filled with cold water.

Add salt to the water, the same amount you would for pasta, to season the potatoes.

Set the potatoes to boil.

While the potatoes are boiling, wash a bunch of fresh dill, a few sprigs of parsley, and some green onions, then let them dry.

Finely dice half of a small white onion, 2 stalks of celery, and a few dill pickles, and set them aside.

Slice the green onions on a bias, only using the green part.

Finely chop the parsley and dill, using the stems as well for flavor and texture.

Finely mince 3 cloves of garlic.

In a mixing bowl, add 500 milliliters of Greek yogurt and 250 milliliters of sour cream.

Add the chopped ingredients, juice of 1 lemon, salt, black pepper, and about 4 tablespoons of Dijon mustard to the bowl.

Mix everything well and taste for seasoning, ensuring a balance of creamy, tangy, and salty flavors with lots of herb flavor.

Check the potatoes about 25 minutes after they start boiling; they should take around 30 minutes total.

Potatoes are done when a knife can push through them without resistance; they should be closer to chunky mashed potatoes.

Strain the potatoes into a colander and let them sit for at least 30 minutes to allow additional water to evaporate.

Add the potatoes to a large mixing bowl and use a spatula to break them up to your desired consistency, halfway to mashed potatoes with some small chunks.

Add in the finished dressing and mix until you reach your desired consistency.

Taste the potato salad and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Transfer the potato salad into an old-looking bowl and garnish with finely chopped fresh dill.
