An abundance of lemon and dill make this Lemony Dill Potato Salad the freshest tasting potato salad I’ve ever made. It has an unexpected bright flavor that makes you stop and savor the first bite.
The salad is lightened up with sour cream for half the mayo and that adds an extra tanginess as well. My whole family enjoys this salad and I happily stash any leftover servings in the back of the refrigerator for my own lunch the following day.
I’ve been making this salad for several years now and it always gets great reviews. I love the simplicity of this salad for potlucks and family dinners. It is a great side dish with Filthy Burgers or Pan-Fried Italian Chicken.
Kitchen Tip: I like to use these bowls when I make this recipe. (The lids are great for chilling in the refrigerator.)

Notes
This recipe can easily be multiplied to serve more people and it will keep nicely in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours. Stir the salad again right before serving.

Love it! I'm a big fan of any potato salad but I like the citrus kick of this one.
This looks fabulous. Father’s Day is going to be a great time to try this recipe!
This looks so good! Love the lemon and dill combo.
This potato salad looks delicious. I love that it has lemon juice in it, always add that great zing to the flavor. I’m going to make it on the weekend.

Such a great combination of ingredients, Mary! Can I use a homemade mayonnaise?
Absolutely!
Love your receipts love your potatoe receipts (cause i love potatoes)
Good morning, What type of potatoes do you recommend using? Peeled or unpeeled? They look peeled in your photo. Thanks!
I typically peel the potatoes for this particular recipe, if I’m using russets or reds, Cheryl. If I’m using Yukon or gold potatoes, the skins are so thin, I leave them on.
silly question but: bake the potatoes first and then chop them? Or chop and then bake? Or boil?
Not a silly question at all, Shannon. Any method will work. I typically bake extra potatoes and use the leftovers for potato salads. (I actually like the texture best that way too!)
