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.

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 ½ lb(s) red new potatoes (no bigger than golf balls), cut into eighths
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 tsp lemon juice + 2 tsp lemon zest (from 1 lemon)
4 tsp Dijon mustard

1 tsp honey
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
½ cup diced celery, plus 1 heaping Tbsp chopped celery leaves

CREAMY, LEMONY POTATO SALAD



Creamy, Lemony Potato Salad image

Many years ago, I ran out of Miracle Whip® while making potato salad and added coleslaw dressing. I wouldn't make it any other way now. This can be eaten the same day, but is best the next day.

Provided by Bren

Categories     Salad     Potato Salad Recipes     Creamy Potato Salad Recipes

Time 8h55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 russet potatoes
4 eggs
½ cup coleslaw dressing (such as Kraft®)
½ cup creamy salad dressing (such as Miracle Whip®)
¼ cup snipped fresh chives
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch paprika, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Place potatoes into a large pot with enough salted water to just cover; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, turning occasionally, until fork-tender, about 20 minutes. Drain potatoes and set aside to cool.
  • Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, remove from heat, and let eggs cook in hot water for 15 minutes. Remove eggs from hot water and rinse with cold water until cool. Peel and chop eggs; put into a large glass dish.
  • Peel cooled potatoes and chop; add to eggs in glass dish.

Tips:

  • Use Yukon Gold potatoes. They hold their shape well when boiled and have a creamy texture that's perfect for potato salad.
  • Boil the potatoes until they're just tender. You don't want them to be too soft, or they'll fall apart when you mix them with the other ingredients.
  • Let the potatoes cool completely before adding the dressing. This will help prevent the dressing from becoming watery.
  • Use a light hand when mixing the potato salad. You don't want to overmix it, or the potatoes will become mashed.
  • Add the dressing to taste. You may not need all of the dressing that's called for in the recipe.
  • Serve the potato salad immediately, or chill it for later. It's best when served within a few hours of making it.

Conclusion:

This lemon dijon potato salad is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that's perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a delicious and healthy potato salad recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
