Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Green olives (pitted and chopped)
- 0.25 cups Fresh dill (chopped)
- 0.25 cups Red onion (finely diced)
- 0.5 cups Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cups Sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1.5 teaspoons Apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.25 cups Celery (finely chopped, optional)
Instructions
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized chunks, leaving the skin on for texture.
Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add 2 teaspoons of salt to the water.
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for 12-15 minutes, or until they are fork-tender but not falling apart.
Drain the potatoes and let them cool for about 10 minutes. Transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
While the potatoes cool, prepare the dressing. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, black pepper, and a pinch of salt if needed.
Add the chopped green olives, fresh dill, red onion, and celery (if using) to the potatoes.
Pour the dressing over the potato mixture. Gently toss the salad to combine, ensuring the potatoes are well-coated with the dressing.
Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if desired.
Cover the salad and refrigerate it for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled or at room temperature as a side dish for your favorite grilled meats or sandwiches.
