Notes
- Start the potatoes in cold, salted water and bring them up to a boil. This helps them cook evenly.
- Cut the potatoes into evenly sized pieces so they finish cooking at the same time. Cook just until fork tender. Overcooking will cause them to break apart when tossed.
- Drain the potatoes well and add to the dressing while still warm so they absorb the flavors fully.
- Taste after mixing and adjust salt if needed.
- If fresh dill isn’t available, substitute 1 1/2 teaspoons dried dill weed.
- Let the salad rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors marry.
