Ingredients

  • 3 pounds small red potatoes
  • Kosher salt
  • 1 cup good mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk, milk, or white wine
  • 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

Directions

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 into quarters or halves, 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. (As the salad sits, you may need to add more dressing.) 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.

    Great for company1

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    This is now my go-to potato salad recipe! I finally ditched the one I've been using for 30 yrs. You just can't go wrong... with this one. The only thing I do differently is I skip the onions because I hate onions. Other than that, I follow it to the letter. I don't think I would try substituting dried dill on this one. The fresh dill makes it so special. And the mustard is not at all overwhelming like in some potato salads.Read more

    The new family favorite

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    A perfect salad for large get togethers, simple to make and even better the day after. Chilling for more than 2-4 hours... allows the potato's to soak in the flavor. Adding jalepenos to give it an extra kick. I now have to teach my wife how to cook, since we are making it almost every other week.Read more

    Easy & Excellent Potato Salad

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    This was simple & tasted delicious. I made it for the first time for guests coming for a Fourth of July b-b-q & my girls,... ages 8 & 9 were able to help put it together. Everyone LOVED it and can't wait to come back for more!Read more

    Most flavorful potato salad I've had ...

    Great tasting potato salad without a lot of fuss. The fresh dill really makes the recipe. I had only russet potatoes and it... still turned out great. Big hit on 4th of July. Thanks Ina!Read more

    New Potato Salad

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    This is the best potato salad recipe ever! It can be served the day it is made, but is much better the next day. I love... make-ahead dishes so that I can relax and enjoy my guests. I normally change something in each recipe....but not this one. It will be the star attraction at our 4th of July party. Thanks, Ina!Read more
