New Potato Salad with Sour Cream and Dill

New Potato Salad with Sour Cream and Dill

The recipe couldn’t be easier. It’s just boiled new potatoes tossed with a dressing of sour cream, vinegar, green onions, fresh dill, salt and pepper. What’s surprising is how much mileage you get out of so few ingredients. The credit lies with the sour cream, which provides a perfectly tangy base for the potatoes.

Ingredients:

2 pounds small red-skinned new potatoes

3/4 cup sour cream

1/2 cup minced green onions, including the green onion greens

1 heaping Tbsp of minced fresh dill

1/3 cup apple cider vinegar

2 teaspoons kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Method:

1.      Place potatoes, skin on, in a 2 to 3 quart saucepan. Cover with an inch of cold water. Bring to a simmer, lower the heat to maintain a low simmer. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes until they are easily pierced with a fork. Strain the potatoes in cold water, set them aside to cool.

2.      In a medium bowl whisk together the sour cream, green onions, dill, cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper. The dressing should be strongly flavored (the potatoes will need it!).

3.      Cut the cooled potatoes in half lengthwise. Toss with the dressing. Chill for at least 1 hour before serving, to allow the potatoes to absorb some of the dressing.
