This salad combines boiled baby potatoes with a creamy mayonnaise and sour cream dressing, brightened with fresh dill, scallions, and a splash of vinegar or lemon juice. It’s served chilled or at room temperature and delivers the familiar comfort of classic potato salad with elevated flavor.
3 pounds of baby red or Yukon Gold potatoes
1 tablespoon kosher salt (for boiling)
1 cup mayonnaise (good quality)
½ cup sour cream
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar or fresh lemon juice
½ cup chopped fresh dill
½ cup chopped scallions (white and green parts)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 tablespoon kosher salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 15–20 minutes, or until fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes and allow them to cool until just warm. Cut into halves or quarters depending on size.
In a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar or lemon juice, fresh dill, and scallions. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Add the warm potatoes to the bowl with the dressing. Toss gently to coat all the pieces evenly.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. Garnish with extra dill if desired.
