Making Potato Salad with Dill and Red Potatoes

Cook the Potatoes:

1. Place the cut red potatoes in a large saucepan. Add enough water to cover the potatoes by 1 inch.
2. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then lower to a medium boil. Cook until the potatoes are tender (about 15 minutes). Check by poking a piece with a fork—it should go in easily.
3. Drain and rinse the potatoes under cold water to cool them.

Prepare the Dressing:

In a large bowl, mix together the sour cream, mayonnaise, diced onion, diced celery, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper until smooth.

Assemble the Salad:

In another large bowl, combine the cooled potatoes and diced hard-boiled eggs.

Sprinkle with dill and gently toss to distribute the dill evenly. Pour the dressing over the potatoes and eggs. Stir gently until everything is coated in dressing.

Chill and Serve:

Cover the bowl and refrigerate. For the best flavor, let it chill overnight. If pressed for time, chilling for at least one hour works too.

Serve cold as a delicious side dish for any meal or gathering.

Best Tips for Making Dill Potato Salad

• Consider substituting a portion of the mayo with Greek yogurt for a healthier version. This reduces the calories and adds a tangy flavor that complements the dill beautifully.
• If using fresh dill, remember that its flavor is more potent than dried, so adjust according to taste.

• I love potato salad recipes with small red potatoes. If they are not your favorite, you could substitute potatoes for small yellow or russet potatoes.
• Feel free to personalize your potato salad by adding crispy bacon bits, shredded cheese, or chopped pickles for added texture and flavor.
