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.

Categories     Lunch

Time 15m

Yield 6-8 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 to 6 large red potatoes, cooked and cubed
3 green onions with tops, sliced
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
1/2 cup mayonnaise

Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • Use waxy potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, hold their shape better when boiled, making them ideal for potato salad.
  • Boil potatoes until just tender: Overcooked potatoes will become mushy and fall apart in the salad.
  • Cool potatoes completely before assembling the salad: This will help prevent the salad from becoming watery.
  • Use a light hand with the mayonnaise: Too much mayonnaise will make the salad heavy and greasy.
  • Add flavor with fresh herbs and spices: Dill, parsley, chives, celery seed, and onion powder are all great additions to potato salad.
  • Garnish with hard-boiled eggs, bacon, or chopped pickles: These optional garnishes add extra flavor and texture to the salad.

Conclusion:

Mom's Dill Potato Salad is a classic summer side dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its creamy mayonnaise dressing, fresh herbs, and tender potatoes, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next potluck or barbecue.
