Creamy Potato Salad With Lemon and Fresh Herbs

A lovely lighter version of my mom's sour cream dill potato salad that grew up loving and better to take to a pitch-in since it has less dairy. Was a big hit at the 4th of July Party I took it to. My only regret was not leaving more behind at home for us to enjoy later. Planning to make a smaller batch this week to fix the craving I've been having for it!

Wonderful as written; light and bright compared to most potato salad. I have also made it adding a couple of chopped hard boiled eggs.

YUM. This is probably the only potato salad I'll make from here on out. No need to choke down the bland yellow slop ever again.

Best potato salad ever. Don't change anything. Just make it and enjoy it.

Love it. Such a lighter balance to the very eggy / mushy potato salads many of us are used to. Served it with sausages and called it a day! Making it a second time to bring along on a camping trip.

Made this many times now. Big hit and requested at family gatherings.

I'm not a huge fan of potato salad but this one's a WINNER. I hate celery so I subbed in a bag of Trader Joe's raw peas for great crunch. Went with 1/2 mayo and 1/2 plain Greek yogurt for the tang. I was unsure about the lemon but it turned out to provide some nice brightness. This salad needs TONS of salt and pepper--use a heavy hand with both and taste as you go.

Made this exactly as written BUT without mayo and it was amazing!!! Chilled the potatoes with the vinegar and salt/pepper. Then just tossed the herbs and lemon. Very good and refreshing .

这是好的,与修改。我的厨师tuition told me it was WAY TOO MUCH MAYONNAISE, so i added it gradually and stopped at half the amount of the recipe. Still it was mayonnaise-heavy so I brightened it with the juice of a lemon. The herbs are tasty, but there was so much greenery it was about like grazing pasture grass.

Nope. While I was enchanted by the recipe and rave reviews this didn’t deliver. Made as described except went 1/2 mayo 1/2 plain yogurt. Too much lemon and a weird texture. There are a ton better ways to serve potatoes.

Excellent dish and super easy. The only thing I added was chopped garlic, because, well, it's garlic! That said, next time I try it I may add crumbled bacon. Bacon and garlic, if you use enough you can make a tin roof tasty.

Very big hit at a back yard BBQ. Will certainly make again.

This is very fresh and lively rather than thick and gloopy like standard potato salad. I added more celery to boost the crunch and a little more herbs (1/4 cup of dill plus the celery leaves). It tastes like spring and my hubby loves it.

I love this potato salad. My daughter has an egg allergy, so I substitute yogurt for mayo and it has turned out wonderful every time.

I make this with greek yogurt instead of mayo and it turns out great every time! I have even used the yogurt/herb/lemon mixture as a dip.
