Be sure to cook your red potatoes until they are easily pierced with a fork and the skin begins to pull away from the potato. This will ensure the potatoes are soft enough to smash, adding to the creaminess of the salad.

CREAMY DILL POTATO SALAD



Creamy Dill Potato Salad image

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.
