Dill Potato Salad Recipe

8 servings
This dill potato salad recipe is super creamy, made with red potatoes, and it's insanely simple. With only 5 ingredients, it's perfect for potlucks, barbecues, and any time you're craving an easy cold side dish.

Ingredients

  • red potatoes
    2 lb
  • mayonnaise
    1 c
  • sour cream
    1 c
  • apple cider vinegar
    4 tsp
  • kosher salt

    plus more for boiling the potatoes

    ½ tsp
  • finely chopped fresh dill
    ½ c

Directions

  1. 1

    Scrub the potatoes clean and place them in a pot of heavily salted cold water covered by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until they are just barely fork tender about 15-20 minutes. See tips below.

  2. 2

    While the potatoes boil, chop the dill finely. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, cider vinegar, kosher salt and chopped dill and stir to combine. Place in the refrigerator to chill while you wait for the potatoes to cook.

  3. 3

    Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them into quarters. (I find this offers the best texture when eating the salad.) If you have some that are on the larger side, you may have to cut them into a few more pieces than that.

  4. 4

    Gently stir the cut potatoes into the creamy salad dressing until they are all coated. Chill for at least one hour. Top with more fresh dill when serving.

What makes this recipe truly stand out is its commitment to simplicity without sacrificing flavor. By using red potatoes for their firm texture and a rich, creamy base of mayonnaise and sour cream, you get a consistently delightful experience. The addition of fresh dill and a bright tang from apple cider vinegar elevates this insanely simple dish into something truly special.

When you prepare this dill potato salad, expect a luscious, velvety texture that coats every tender piece of potato. The flavors are a harmonious blend of creamy richness, a subtle tang that keeps it from being too heavy, and the vibrant, herbaceous notes of fresh dill that shine through. It's a truly satisfying cold side dish that perfectly complements any barbecue spread or potluck buffet, designed for ease and pure enjoyment.

This recipe is incredibly straightforward, utilizing only 5 core ingredients. While the base is fantastic as is, you can always adjust the amount of fresh dill to suit your preference, adding more for an extra burst of herbaceous flavor or slightly less if you prefer a milder taste. You could also experiment with the tanginess by slightly adjusting the apple cider vinegar to achieve your ideal balance.

This dill potato salad is an absolute must-have for potlucks, barbecues, or any occasion where you need a reliable and crowd-pleasing cold side. It's fantastic alongside grilled meats, sandwiches, or as part of a larger picnic spread.
