Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds baby potatoes
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill (chopped)
- 3 stalks green onions (thinly sliced)
Instructions
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized pieces, keeping the skin on for added texture and flavor.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, place the frozen peas in a colander. When the potatoes are finished cooking, drain them over the peas to thaw them using the hot water.
Set the potatoes and peas aside to cool to room temperature.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
Add the cooled potatoes and peas to the dressing. Toss gently to coat everything evenly.
Fold in the chopped dill and sliced green onions for a burst of freshness.
Cover the potato salad and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled as a side dish and garnish with additional dill or green onions if desired.
