Ingredients

  • 2 lbs small red or yellow potatoes halved
  • 3 tbsp white vinegar
  • 2 tbsp dijon mustard any variety
  • 3 tbsp finely chopped fresh dill or more to preference
  • 3 tbsp minced shallot approx. 1 small shallot
  • 2 cloves garlic grated
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Prepare Potatoes: Rinse and scrub the potatoes then slice in half and place in a large saucepan. Fill the pot with enough water water to cover the potatoes. Add a 1/2 tsp of salt to the water.
  • Boil Potatoes: Bring to a boil then reduce heat slightly and cover. Cook for 10-15 minutes, depending on size. They're ready when you can easily pierce with a fork for knife.
  • Drain: Once cooked, reserve a scoop of the cooking water then drain the potatoes and add to a large mixing bowl.
  • Mix Salad: Add the rest of the ingredients, season with salt and pepper and mix until thoroughly combined. If desired, add 1-2 tbsp of the reserved potato cooking liquid for creaminess and moisture.
  • Serve: Serve right away while warm or chill in the fridge for 1-2 hours before serving to allow flavours to develop.

Notes

This recipe makes 4 generous servings so could serve 6-8 as a small side dish.
This salad is best served right away or within a few hours but can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Adding a bit of the potato cooking water creates a bit of a creamy texture when it mixes with the outside of the cooked potatoes. It's optional and the salad is delicious with or without it.
