Dill Potato Salad
It's not a picnic without potato salad. Dill is a refreshing summer herb that adds a lot of flavor to this old staple. Branch out and use other fresh herbs like basil, cilantro, thyme or rosemary.
Servings: 8
Prep time: 45 min
Cooking time: 15 min
Ready to eat in:1 hr + time for chilling
Utensils: large stock pot, serving dish, mixing bowl
- 2 lbs red potatoes - washed or 2 lbs of baking potatoes - see note 1
- 4 hard boiled eggs - diced
- 3 heaping tab mayonnaise
- 4 green onions - chopped
- 2 heaping tab sweet pickle relish
- ¼ cup fresh dill or 2 tab of dried dill - or more to taste
- 2 tab yellow mustard
- 1 tsp white vinegar
- 1 lg stalk celery - finely diced
- ½ tsp sugar
- 1 tsp sea salt - to taste
- 1 tsp fresh ground pepper - to taste
Directions
Boil or bake potatoes and refrigerate until chilled. Hard boil the eggs and refrigerate until chilled. Preferably the day before. In a mixing bowl add the mayonnaise, onions, relish, dill, mustard, vinegar, celery and sugar. Blend together. Dice the potatoes in ½ inch cubes and sprinkle the salt & pepper on the potatoes. Add the diced eggs and fold everything together until the potatoes are coated with the mayo mixture. Add more mayo if you like a more creamy potato salad. Remove to serving dish and refrigerate until time to serve. Never leave potato salad sit in the sun
NOTE 1 - Red potatoes will stay more firm than russet potatoes. I always leave the pealing on both since that is where many of the nutrients are. But, if you have fussy eaters you will have to peal them. Russet potatoes will stay firmer if baked or microwaved then chilled in the refrigerator before dicing.
