A quick and easy creamy potato salad with fresh dill, perfect for summer gatherings. Tender potatoes are combined with a tangy mayo-mustard dressing and fresh herbs for a refreshing side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold or red potatoes, scrubbed and cut into bite-sized chunks
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 stalks celery, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped (optional)
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped (about 4 tablespoons)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 large hard-boiled eggs, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon pickle relish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse the potatoes well and cut into roughly 1-inch chunks.
  2. Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water by about an inch. Add a pinch of salt.
  3. Bring to a gentle boil and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until tender but still firm when pierced with a fork.
  4. Drain potatoes in a colander and let cool for about 10 minutes.
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
  6. Stir in the diced celery, chopped red onion, and chopped hard-boiled eggs.
  7. Gently fold the cooled potatoes into the dressing mixture, trying not to break the potatoes apart. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  8. Fold in the chopped fresh dill last to preserve its bright, herbal flavor.
  9. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes

Use Yukon Gold potatoes for best texture. Avoid overcooking potatoes to prevent mushiness. Cool potatoes before mixing with dressing to avoid watery salad. Fold ingredients gently to keep potatoes intact. Fresh dill should be added last to preserve flavor. Chill salad for at least 1 hour or overnight for best flavor.
