Notes

  • Waxy potatoes such as Yukon Gold or red potatoes hold their shape best.
  • Greek yogurt can replace part of the mayonnaise for a lighter version.
  • Add chopped pickles or a splash of pickle juice for extra tanginess.
  • Sprinkle additional fresh dill or green onions before serving for extra flavor.
  • If the salad thickens in the refrigerator, stir in a small spoonful of mayonnaise or sour cream.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
