Creamy Potato Salad with Dill, Lemon & Radishes image

I generally only like one type of potato salad, but I tried this one once because it sounded interesting and I was thrilled with the result. It tastes incredibly light and refreshing and the radish adds a nice bite to it. It's my most requested potato salad recipe. From Fine Cooking magazine.

Categories     Potato

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 lbs unpeeled smallish red potatoes, scrubbed
kosher salt
2 stalks celery, inner ribs and their tender leaves,finely chopped (about 1/2 cup)
3/4 cup thinly sliced radish (about 6 small radishes)
3 scallions, white and tender green parts chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill (don't sub in dry - it won't be the same)
1/4 cup heavy cream, well chilled
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons grated lemons, zest of
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes in a saucepan with a large pinch of kosher salt, cover with water by an inch or two, bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to medium, partially cover, and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
  • (Test for doneness by spearing the potato with a thin metal skewer. It should penetrate easily into the center of the potato and then slide right out. If the skewer lifts the potato out of the water, cook the potatoes a little longer.) Drain the potatoes and let them cool.
  • When the potatoes are at room temperature, cut them into 3/4-inch chunks and put them in a mixing bowl.
  • Add the celery, radishes, scallions and dill and fold to distribute; set aside.

Provided by Barney Desmazery

900g halved new potatoes
3 tsp olive oil
juice 1 lemon
1 tsp each toasted black mustard seeds and toasted cumin seeds
1 finely chopped green chilli (optional)
½ finger-length piece grated ginger
pinch turmeric
4 sliced spring onions

Tips:

  • Use Yukon gold potatoes. Their waxy texture holds its shape well in potato salad, and they have a slightly buttery flavor.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are just tender. Overcooked potatoes will fall apart in the salad.
  • Let the potatoes cool completely before adding the dressing. This will help prevent the salad from becoming watery.
  • Use a light hand with the dressing. You want the potatoes to be coated, but not swimming in dressing.
  • Add some fresh herbs to the salad. Dill, chives, and parsley are all good choices.
  • Serve the salad immediately, or chill it for later. Potato salad is best enjoyed within a few hours of making it.

Conclusion:

Creamy lemony potato salad is a classic side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make, and it always a crowd-pleaser. With its creamy, tangy dressing and tender potatoes, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next potluck or barbecue.
