Dill potato salad is a simple and delicious side dish that is made with potatoes as the main ingredient. It is often made with a mix of vegetables and a dressing made from mayonnaise, sour cream, and mustard, and it is flavored with fresh dill. Potatoes are a type of root vegetable that are native to South America and are known for their starchy and slightly sweet flavor. They are a good source of potassium, vitamin C, and dietary fiber, and they are also low in calories.

Dill potato salad is easy to make and can be customized to suit your tastes. It can be served cold or at room temperature and is often best when allowed to sit for a while in the refrigerator to allow the flavors to meld. It is a great option for vegetarians and can also be a healthy and satisfying option for meat-eaters looking to add more vegetables to their diet. Dill potato salad is also a budget-friendly option as potatoes are generally inexpensive and can be a good source of nutrients for those looking to save money on their grocery bills.

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 pounds Baby Potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
  • ½ cup Mayonnaise / Sour Cream / Greek Yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Parsley (chopped)
  • ½ cup Onion (chopped)
  • ¼ teaspoon Garlic (minced)
  • 2 tablespoons Dill (chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons Mini Capers (optional)
  • ¼ cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Salt and Pepper to Taste

DIRECTIONS

  1. To begin with, first, clean and wash potatoes well to get rid of all dirt.
  2. Add one cup of water in the steel insert of the Instant Pot.
  3. Now, place the steamer basket in the steel insert. Add potatoes.
  4. Close the lid and seal the pot. Set the pressure cook to 5 minutes on 'High'.
  5. Once the IP beeps, let pressure release naturally. Open the lid, take off the potatoes from the pot, let it rest for a few minutes.
  6. Peel and cut them into halves. Add lemon juice, mix and set it aside for some time.
  7. I usually put them into the fridge to chill for a couple of hours or so. This way they stay firm and absorb the lemon juice well making it more flavorful.
  8. Now, add all the ingredients in a large bowl.
  9. Toss well. Let the salad sit for 10-15 minutes. Serve as you like.

You can also add some diced celery, chopped hard-boiled eggs, or crumbled bacon to this salad for extra flavor and texture. You can also use a different type of mustard or a different type of herb in the dressing if you prefer.
