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.

The secret to Ina Garden's zesty Potato Salad recipe from Barefoot Contessa on Food Network? Buttermilk and two mustards: Dijon and whole grain.

Provided by Ina Garten

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.

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.

EASY POTATO SALAD WITH DILL



Easy Potato Salad with Dill image

Cucumbers add crunch to this simple dill potato salad. I have tried other vinegar, but I find that I prefer it with apple cider vinegar.

Provided by elsaw

Categories     Salad     Potato Salad Recipes     Red Potato Salad Recipes

Time 2h30m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound red potatoes, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
¼ cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 sprigs chopped fresh dill, or to taste
salt and pepper to taste
½ cucumber - peeled, seeded, and finely chopped
4 green onions, sliced

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 12 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry while you prepare the dressing.
  • Whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, dill, salt, and pepper. Stir in the cucumber and green onions. Add the warm potatoes to the dressing and toss gently to coat with the dressing. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

Tips:

  • Use fresh dill. Fresh dill has a more intense flavor than dried dill, and it will give your potato salad a brighter, more vibrant flavor.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are just tender. If you overcook the potatoes, they will become mushy and fall apart in the salad.
  • Let the potatoes cool slightly before adding the other ingredients. This will help to prevent the salad from becoming too watery.
  • Use a light hand with the mayonnaise. Too much mayonnaise can make the salad heavy and greasy.
  • Add the celery, onion, and dill to taste. You can add more or less of each ingredient, depending on your personal preferences.
  • Season the salad with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Chill the salad for at least an hour before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the salad to become more flavorful.

Conclusion:

This dill potato salad is a classic side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make, and it is always a crowd-pleaser. With its creamy texture, tangy flavor, and fresh dill, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
