Ingredients

  • 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

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 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.

    Loved it and I don't really care for Potato Salad.... I changed a couple of things, added 1 diced dill, instead of buttermilk, used Best Foods Sandwich Spread, 4 hard boiled eggs diced and only used 1 tbsp of ground dry mustard, it was very good. I still plan on trying it the original way but didn't have everything that day.

    Absolutely delicious. But eliminate the salt completely. I salted the water the potatoes boiled in but that was it. I love Ina's recipe's but there is WAY too much salt in everything she makes. The mustards give this more than enough seasoning.

    I have to agree - this is a great recipe. I've been making my mother's traditional potato salad recipe for years. This one is great. Follow the recipe precisely. I used red potatoes instead of white and was seriously excited about the outcome. My husband thought there was too much sauce so you might want to hold some back.
