Ingredients:
- 2 lbs red potatoes, scrubbed and cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
- 2 stalks celery, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped (optional)
- Fresh dill sprigs, for garnish
Instructions:
- Cook the Potatoes:
- Place the red potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for about 10-12 minutes, or until they 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 Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
- Combine Ingredients:
- Add the cooled potatoes, chopped red onion, celery, and fresh dill to the bowl with the dressing. If using, gently fold in the chopped hard-boiled eggs. Toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated with the dressing and the ingredients are well mixed.
- Chill and Serve:
- Cover the potato salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. For best results, chill for 1-2 hours before serving. Garnish with fresh dill sprigs just before serving.
Red potato salad with dill is a refreshing and satisfying dish that pairs perfectly with grilled meats, sandwiches, or as a standalone side. Its creamy, tangy dressing and the fresh taste of dill make it a versatile and delicious option for any meal.
