Ingredients:
- 2 lbs baby potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
- 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 2 celery stalks, finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: chopped pickles or capers for extra tang
Instructions:
- Cook the Potatoes: Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a generous pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly.
- Prepare the Dressing: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar or lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.
- Add the Potatoes: Once the potatoes have cooled slightly, add them to the bowl with the dressing. Toss gently to coat the potatoes evenly with the dressing.
- Add the Vegetables and Dill: Stir in the chopped dill, green onions, and celery until everything is evenly distributed. If using, add chopped pickles or capers for an extra tangy flavor.
- Chill and Serve: Cover the potato salad and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together. Taste and adjust seasoning before serving.
