CREAMY DIJON-DILL POTATO SALAD



Creamy Dijon-Dill Potato Salad image

I guess I'm sticking to the classic salads for my BBQ, and there's nothing more classic BBQ than a good home-style potato salad. Mine is rich in flavor, but still light and fresh, thanks in large part to the dill and lemon juice. The vibrant green dill also does wonders for the look of the salad. There's nothing worse than mushy, mealy potatoes, so make sure to start your spuds off in cold water and to cook them whole.

Time 40m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 stalks celery
1 cup mayonnaise
1 small red onion, finely chopped (about 1/2 cup)
1/4 cup tightly packed chopped fresh dill
1 to 2 tablespoons vinegar
1/2 lemon, juiced
1 tablespoon grainy or regular Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Put the potatoes in a big pot with enough water to cover by 1-inch. Season with salt and bring the water to a boil. Cook just until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, about 25 minutes.
  • Drain the potatoes and return them to the uncovered pot off the heat. Let them sit until almost room temperature. (Cooling them in the warm pot will get rid of any excess water in the potatoes, and that's good.)
  • Meanwhile, cut the white parts off the ends of the celery stalks. Cut the stalks in half lengthwise, then across into 1/4-inch slices. Stir the celery, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and the remaining ingredients together in a serving bowl large enough to hold all the potatoes.
  • When they're cool, cut the potatoes into 1-inch pieces, add them to the bowl as you go. Stir gently until all the potatoes are coated with dressing. You can make the salad up to a couple of hours in advance. Keep covered at room temperature. Don't refrigerate or the potatoes will lose their rich, smooth texture.

CREAMY DILL POTATO SALAD

This sounds like a lovely, lower fat, summer salad with a bit of a twist on traditional potato salad. I've not tried it yet, but have had similar versions and have been looking for a potato salad with peas. I've actually combined three recipes here and am looking forward to giving this one a go. Prep time does not include chill time. Note: Always slightly undercook potatoes for salads, since they keep cooking after they're drained and you don't want mushy salad. Warm potatoes soak up more dressing than cold ones.

Time 30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

675 g baby red potatoes
125 ml frozen baby peas
6 slices bacon, chopped & fried
4 green onions, sliced
1/2 medium red pepper, cut into bite size pieces
125 ml light cream cheese, softened
125 ml 1% fat buttermilk
50 ml fresh dill, chopped
sea salt, to taste
fresh ground pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Slice, but do not peel, baby potatoes in half (quarter if they are larger).
  • Place in large saucepan, cover with water, bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to medium and simmer 10 - 12 minutes, until potatoes are fork tender (see note in description). Add peas during last minute. Drain and place in a large bowl.
  • Mix bacon pieces, green onions and red pepper pieces in with potatoes and peas.
  • In a medium bowl, blend together cream cheese, buttermilk, dill, sea salt and fresh ground pepper.
  • Pour dressing over potato mixture and stir to coat.
  • Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve (flavour improves if refrigerated overnight).
  • Potatoes absorb dressing as they sit so you may add up to 50 ml more buttermilk or even some sour cream.
