Categories     side-dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 pounds small white potatoes
Kosher salt
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
1/2 cup chopped fresh dill
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped red onion

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes and 2 tablespoons of salt in a large pot of water. Bring the water to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, until the potatoes are barely tender when pierced with a knife. Drain the potatoes in a colander, then place the colander with the potatoes over the empty pot and cover with a clean, dry kitchen towel. Allow the potatoes to steam for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, buttermilk, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, dill, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Set aside.
  • When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them in quarters or in half, depending on their size. Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl. While the potatoes are still warm, pour enough dressing over them to moisten. Add the celery and red onion, 2 teaspoons of salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Toss well, cover, and refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to blend. Serve cold or at room temperature.

Categories     Salad

Time 35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 pounds baby yellow potatoes
1/4 cup minced shallot (about 1 large)
1/4 cup fresh dill, minced
2 tablespoons fresh parsley
3 green onions, optional
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup capers, drained
2 tablespoons olive oil
Fresh ground pepper

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with cold water and add 1 tablespoon kosher salt. Add the whole potatoes and bring to a boil. When it comes to a boil, boil for about 5 to 8 minutes, depending on the size. Cook until fork tender (taste test to check).
  • Mince the shallot. Finely chop the dill and parsley. Thinly slice the green onions, if using.
  • When the potatoes are done, drain them. When they are cool enough to handle, slice them into bite sized pieces. Place the potatoes in a bowl and gently mix in the minced shallot, white wine vinegar, kosher salt, and 1/2 cup warm water. Let stand for 5 minutes, gently stirring occasionally. The potatoes will absorb the water as they stand.
  • Add the dill, parsley, green onions, drained capers, olive oil, and a few grinds black pepper. Taste and add additional salt if necessary (we added 1/4 teaspoon more). Serve warm or room temperature.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh dill from your garden or a local farmer's market. If using dried dill, use about 1/4 of the amount called for in the recipe.
  • Yukon Gold potatoes are a good choice for potato salad because they hold their shape well and have a creamy texture. However, you can use any type of potato you like.
  • Be sure to cook the potatoes until they are tender, but not mushy. You should be able to pierce them easily with a fork.
  • Allow the potatoes to cool slightly before adding the other ingredients. This will help to prevent the potato salad from becoming too watery.
  • If you are making the potato salad ahead of time, be sure to cover it and refrigerate it for at least 2 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld.
