Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes
Wash, peel (optional), and dice potatoes into 1-inch chunks. Boil in salted water for 15–20 minutes until fork-tender but not mushy.
Pro Tip: Begin with cold water to ensure your potatoes cook evenly from the inside out, and don’t be shy with the salt—it’s your first chance to season them from within.
Step 2: Mix the Dressing
In a generous mixing bowl—the heart of your kitchen—vigorously blend a velvety scoop of mayonnaise (or the tangy brightness of Greek yogurt) with a swirl of bold Dijon mustard, a zesty drizzle of vinegar or a burst of fresh lemon juice, followed by a thoughtful sprinkle of sea salt and freshly cracked pepper to awaken every element of the dressing. This luscious base becomes the creamy canvas upon which dill’s magic will soon dance.. Add fresh chopped dill.
Step 3: Add Flavor Layers
Stir in red onions, celery, and any optional ingredients you desire. Ensure flavors are well-balanced before adding potatoes.
Step 4: Combine and Chill
Gently fold in drained, cooled potatoes. Let it rest in the fridge, covered, for at least an hour to enhance the overall taste
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
Top with extra dill or paprika for color. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
