dilly red-skinned potato salad

Red potatoes, lots of fresh dill, a little red onion and just enough Kewpie mayo. Lighter than the store-bought stuff, and always requested.

30 min serves 6–8 crowd pleaser

ingredients

Tick things off as you go.

you'll need

  • Large stock pot
  • Big mixing bowl

method

  1. boil the potatoes

    Cut the potatoes in half. Fill a large stock pot with water and a few tablespoons of salt, and boil the potatoes until just cooked through. A knife should spear through easily, but you don't want them falling apart.

  2. chop the onion and dill

    While the potatoes boil, finely dice half a large red onion (two small shallots work too). Wash and chop the dill.

  3. mix it all together

    Drain the potatoes and add them to a mixing bowl with the onion and dill. Add 1 cup of mayo to start, drizzle in olive oil to taste and season with salt and pepper. Mix until everything is well combined.

  4. adjust and garnish

    Add more mayo if you like. I like it lighter, so I stick close to 1 cup. Finish with more dill on top!
