Description
This quintessential chilled potato salad combines tender, buttery Yukon Gold potatoes with a vibrant, tangy dressing made from Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, and fresh garden dill. It is the perfect refreshing side dish for summer barbecues, potlucks, and outdoor gatherings, offering a light yet satisfying flavor profile that highlights high-quality, simple ingredients.
Ingredients
3 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes
1/2 cup Mayonnaise
1/2 cup Plain full-fat Greek yogurt
1/4 cup Fresh dill, finely chopped
1 tbsp Freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tsp Dijon mustard
1/4 cup Red onion, finely minced
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Scrub the potatoes thoroughly and dice into uniform one-inch cubes.
Place potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water by two inches, and add a generous tablespoon of salt.
Boil over medium-high heat until fork-tender but still firm.
Drain the potatoes immediately using a colander.
Allow potatoes to cool at room temperature for fifteen minutes.
In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard.
Fold the cooled potatoes and minced red onion into the dressing until evenly coated.
Gently fold in the fresh dill, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
Chill in the refrigerator before serving.
Notes
For the best texture, ensure the potatoes are completely cooled before mixing with the dressing to prevent it from breaking. You can substitute Yukon Gold with Red Bliss potatoes if preferred. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
