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.

Steps:

  • Heat a pan of salted water until boiling.
  • Peel the potatoes and cut into rough bite size chunks and ads to the boiling water.
  • Finely chop the spring onions .
  • Add the cream cheese, mustard and mayonnaise to a bowl and thoroughly mix, then add the chopped spring onions and give another stir.
  • When the potatoes are soft take them off the boil and strain through a sieve. Make sure they're not too soft as they'll mash as you stir them into the other ingredients. Cool the potatoes in cold water or the fridge.
  • When cooled add the potatoes to the other ingredients and gently stir in.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as red potatoes or baby potatoes, hold their shape better when boiled and are less likely to fall apart in the salad.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are just tender: Overcooked potatoes will become mushy and fall apart in the salad.
  • Use high-quality mayonnaise: The mayonnaise is the base of the salad, so use a good-quality mayonnaise that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Add your favorite mix-ins: You can add a variety of mix-ins to your potato salad, such as celery, onion, hard-boiled eggs, bacon, or cheese.
  • Chill the salad before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and the salad to firm up.

Conclusion:

Creamy potato salad is a classic summer dish that is perfect for picnics, potlucks, and BBQs. It is a versatile dish that can be customized to your liking, and it is always a crowd-pleaser. With a few simple tips, you can make the best creamy potato salad that everyone will love.
