Dill and Potato Salad Recipe
Ingredients
- 900g (2 pounds) baby potatoes
- 60g (1/4 cup) mayonnaise
- 60g (1/4 cup) sour cream
- 15g (1 tbsp) Dijon mustard
- 5g (1 tsp) salt
- 2g (1/2 tsp) black pepper
- 30ml (2 tbsp) apple cider vinegar
- 15g (1 tbsp) sugar
- 50g (1/2 cup) red onions, finely chopped
- 15g (1/4 cup) fresh dill, chopped
- 75g (1/2 cup) celery, diced
Instructions
Step 1: Preparing the Potatoes
Rinse the baby potatoes thoroughly and place them in a large pot filled with salted water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer the potatoes for about 20-25 minutes or until they are fork-tender. Once cooked, drain the potatoes in a colander and set aside to cool.
Step 2: Making the Dressing
In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, apple cider vinegar, and sugar. Whisk together until smoothly blended and set aside. The tangy dressing will act as the backbone of your salad, coating the potatoes in a flavorful embrace.
Step 3: Assembling the Salad
Once the potatoes have cooled, cut them into halves or quarters depending on their size and place them in a large mixing bowl. Add the finely chopped red onions, fresh dill, and diced celery to the bowl. Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and gently toss everything together until well coated and evenly mixed.
Step 4: Chilling the Salad
Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the salad for at least 15-20 minutes before serving. This chilling period allows the flavors to meld together beautifully, enhancing the overall taste and texture of the salad.
