DILL POTATO SALAD



Dill Potato Salad image

This tasty dill potato salad is just like Grandma's: it's bursting with fresh herbs and flavored with olive oil and vinegar.

Provided by Sonja Overhiser

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.

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.

Categories     side-dish

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.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality potatoes: Choose firm, waxy potatoes that will hold their shape when cooked, such as Yukon Gold or red potatoes.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are just tender: Overcooked potatoes will become mushy and fall apart in the salad.
  • Let the potatoes cool completely before assembling the salad: This will help prevent the salad from becoming watery.
  • Use a light hand when dressing the salad: You don't want to overwhelm the delicate flavor of the potatoes with too much dressing.
  • Garnish the salad with fresh herbs, such as dill, chives, or parsley, before serving: This will add a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Savory Dilled Potato Salad is a classic summer side dish that is perfect for picnics, potlucks, and barbecues. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With its creamy dressing, tender potatoes, and fresh herbs, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
