2 teaspoons mustard (your favorite: yellow, Dijon, stone-ground)

1/4 cup chopped parsley

to a simmer.
Simmer until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, about 20 minutes. Drain, and rinse

turning over occasionally with tongs, until lightly browned, and much of the fat rendered out.
Place on a plate lined with paper towels to soak up the excess fat. Do not pour any fat from the
pan down the drain, it will clog it. Instead, pour it into a jar, or sop up with paper towels and
discard.
In a large bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, and mustard. Add a little salt and
pepper.
Add the potatoes and use a rubber spatula to gently combine with the sour cream mixture. Add the

tablespoons of the pickle juice for good measure.) Season to taste with salt and pepper.
