Creamy Dill German Potato Salad is a refreshing twist on the traditional warm version, made with tender boiled potatoes tossed in a creamy dressing flavored with fresh dill, mustard, and a touch of vinegar. Unlike the vinegar-based warm salad, this version is typically served chilled and has a smooth, tangy flavor profile. It pairs wonderfully with grilled sausages, schnitzel, or roasted meats. The dill adds a fragrant herbaceous note that makes it light and vibrant.

Ingredients

  • 2½ lbs small waxy potatoes (like Yukon Gold), scrubbed

  • ½ cup mayonnaise

  • ⅓ cup sour cream

  • 2 tbsp white wine vinegar

  • 1 tbsp German or Dijon mustard

  • ½ small red onion, finely diced

  • 3 tbsp chopped fresh dill

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Directions

  • Place potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold salted water, and bring to a boil.
  • Cook until tender when pierced with a knife, about 15–20 minutes.
  • Drain and let cool until just warm.
  • Peel if desired, then cut potatoes into bite-sized chunks.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper.
  • Add potatoes, diced red onion, and dill. Gently fold until everything is coated.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  • Cover and chill at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, toss warm potatoes with a splash of vinegar and a pinch of salt before dressing.
  • You can swap part of the mayo for plain yogurt to lighten it up.
  • Keeps in the fridge up to 3 days.
