Potato salad is just one of the recipes that everyone loves. It’s easy to make ahead of time and can contain lots of different additions (like bacon and cheese)!
This is one of my favorite potato salad recipes of all time! It’s rich and creamy and loaded with fresh dill. I love the flavor of fresh dill… it just screams SUMMER to me!! A perfect side for any BBQ or picnic!
If you’re looking for a lightened up version of potato salad, this recipe is very easy to adapt! You can replace 2/3 of the mayo with Greek yogurt and it is delicious! (Nobody will ever know! ;) . I actually substitute Greek yogurt for part of the mayo into most creamy recipes and it works perfectly! I start with about 2/3 mayo to 1/3 yogurt and make adjustments from there!

Perfect!
Delicious and refreshing!
Highly recommend.
Made this as a side dish for smoked salmon that my husband made. When I had him taste it for seasoning, I could tell he was turning up his nose because a make a lot of different potato salads and this was a new one. But when he ate it with the smoke salmon, he was singing its praises. This is a delicious potato salad, especially if you pair it with the correct main dish!
I’ve made this several times and it’s really outstanding as is.
The only addition I’ve made over the times I’ve made it is using smoked sea salt (applewood, just a pinch for a hint).
Every time I make this salad, I get asked for the recipe. I took it to a barbecue last night and everyone loved it. I love it simplicity because I don’t like a lot of extras in my potato salad. The fresh dill makes the dressing for those who found it bland. They didn’t have good quality dill or enough as it is far from bland. Excellent proportions.
This recipe is good, but I found it a bit bland as written. It became phenomenal after I added some extra yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, and garlic powder. My family gobbled up the tweaked version.
I went with 2/3 greek yogurt, 1/3 mayo. I had no leftovers, so it was definitely a big hit with my family. I will be making this again.
Thank you for this wonderful recipe. I have made this several times and find it is my favorite recipe for potato salad. I leave out the onion as we are not fans but otherwise follow the recipe exactly. Delicious!
Mt wife said this is the best potato salad she has ever tasted IN HER WHOLE ENTIRE LIFE. Her words not mine. I agree with her. If I make it she will eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Let it sit in fridge overnight it’s even better after all the flavors blend. Thanks for sharing. This is the only potato salad I make now. It never lasts long.
Love this recipe :)
If you have any leftovers of the salad, can you freeze it?
