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!

can you add mayo if the salad seems a little dry
Yes, you can add extra mayonnaise if needed.
can you add mayo or milk if it’s not creamy enough after 29 hrs in the fridge?
Hi Elaine, you could add a bit of mayonnaise or extra sour cream if you’d like!
can the salad be made 30 before dinner or should I cut back the time
Yes it can be. The flavors will not have quite as long to develop but it’ll still be delicious.
