Creamy, Easy and Delicious
This potato salad is my favorite side dish for summer BBQs and with a good dose of fresh dill, it’s sure to be yours as well.
My family has always enjoyed Fourth of July celebrations. Ever since our children were little, we have had barbeques in our backyard. We get lots of hot dogs, hamburgers, coleslaw and, of course, this recipe for potato salad. Then, our friends and neighbors come over and we celebrate into the evening. There are fireworks always going off near us and we can hear them during the party.
Even when the gatherings are small, this salad reminds me of all the times we have enjoyed celebrating our great country’s birthday.
POTATO SALAD WITH DILL
Here are the INGREDIENTS you’ll need:
3 lbs. Yukon Golden potatoes
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup yellow or Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 cup sweet pickle relish
1 stalk celery, chopped
1/4 cup green onion or sweet onion chopped
1 1/2 Tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper, each
4 hard boiled eggs, 3 chopped and 1 sliced
paprika
Now the easy DIRECTIONS:
First, cut each potato in half ( it makes them easier to cook). Then, place all the halves into a large pot and cover with 1 inch of water. Add 2 teaspoons salt and bring to a simmer. Simmer until all the potatoes are fork tender all the way through, this should take about 20 minutes. Drain well. Let the potatoes cool and then peel and discard the skins.
Place potatoes in a large bowl. Run a knife through them until they are cut into bite-sized pieces.
In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, sugar, and onion powder. Pour over potatoes and mix in well.
Add relish, celery, onion, dill and the chopped eggs. Mix in.
Add salt and pepper.
Top with sliced egg and sprinkle with paprika. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 4 hours.

WOW!!! Jean . I love love Potato Salad and yours sounds really yummy. Sorry I have to alter it a bit because of the inner child in my 68 year old body I don’t do well with whole vegetables so I have to put the dill, celery, and onions on hold.But I can add onion powder and most definitely extra Hellman’s Mayo. When you grow up in Central Islip NY everything is extra mayo. BTW I was in Central Islip when Hurricane Donna came up the coast in 1960. I was 10 at the time. The eye passed right over us as the hurricane tore thru the center of the Island.We rode it out. It was different than Sandy no cell phones,no communications.Long Islanders were isolated.I still remember Donna.Bet Alex remembers Donna or your parents.Sandy wasn’t the only Hurricane that ruined Halloween. Going to try to do this recipe modified with your and Alex’s approval let you know. Love Inside Winks
I wrote a long letter to Jean Trebeck and wonder if she got it. I don’t see it.
Anyhooo, I praised her and Alex for being so special and strong.
And I am not a cook but see some of her recipes that DO interest me.
Stay as sweet as you are, Jean. And I look forward to tonight’s show with the 3 top fellow winners of Jeopardy. What fun and excitement! Keep your positive strength and health, Alex. We love you’ll! ????
