Print Recipe

A quick and easy creamy potato salad featuring fresh dill and tangy Dijon mustard, perfect for barbecues, picnics, or cozy dinners. Made with just five simple ingredients, it offers a fresh twist on a classic side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold or red potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash 2 pounds of Yukon Gold or red potatoes thoroughly and cut into 1 to 1.5-inch chunks.
  2. Place potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water about 1 inch above potatoes, add 1 teaspoon salt, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 12-15 minutes until potatoes are tender but not falling apart.
  4. Drain potatoes in a colander and rinse briefly with cold water to stop cooking. Let cool for about 10 minutes until warm but not hot.
  5. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, and 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Gently fold the cooled potatoes into the dressing, being careful not to mash them.
  7. Add 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill and stir until evenly distributed. Adjust seasoning if needed.
  8. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld before serving. Garnish with extra dill if desired.

Notes

Use warm potatoes when mixing with dressing for better absorption. Do not add dill until potatoes have cooled slightly to preserve herb brightness. Chill salad for at least 30 minutes before serving for best flavor. Variations include swapping mayo for Greek yogurt or vegan mayo, adding celery or scallions for crunch, or substituting potatoes with cauliflower for a low-carb option.
