A vibrant and colorful potato salad featuring red, white, and blue potatoes with a fresh dill dressing, perfect for summer BBQs and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound red potatoes, scrubbed and quartered
  • 1 pound white potatoes (Yukon Gold or similar), quartered
  • 1 pound blue potatoes, quartered
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 2 stalks celery, finely diced
  • 1 small red onion, minced (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Place the quartered red, white, and blue potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water by about 1 inch. Add a teaspoon of salt to the water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender but not falling apart. Drain the potatoes in a colander and let them cool slightly.
  2. While the potatoes are cooking, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and honey in a large bowl. Add the chopped dill, diced celery, and minced red onion. Stir to combine well. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
  3. When the potatoes have cooled enough to handle but are still warm, gently fold them into the dressing. Use a folding motion with a spatula or spoon to avoid mashing the potatoes.
  4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably 2-3 hours, so the flavors blend beautifully. Before serving, give the salad a gentle stir and adjust seasoning if needed.

Notes

Start potatoes in cold water to cook evenly and avoid mushiness. Mix warm potatoes with dressing to absorb flavors better. Chill for at least 1 hour to meld flavors. Substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for lighter dressing or vegan mayo for dairy-free option. Use dried dill sparingly if fresh is unavailable.
