Ingredients

  • 3 lbs small red potatoes
  • salt, to taste (kosher)
  • pepper, to taste (freshly ground)
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk (or white wine)
  • 2 tablespoons mustard, dijon
  • 2 tablespoons mustard, whole grain
  • 1/2 cup fresh dill, chopped
  • 1/2 cup celery, medium- diced
  • 1/2 cup red onion, small-diced

Method

  • Place potatoes in boiling water, then lower the heat and simmer water until potatoes are barely tender, about 15 minutes; drain potatoes and keep them warm.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, buttermilk, Dijon and whole grain mustards, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper, set aside.
  • When cool enough to handle, cut potatoes into salad-size pieces, into a bowl and pour enough dressing over them to moisten.
  • Add the celery, red onion, 2 teaspoons salt and one teaspoon pepper.
  • Toss well, cover and refrigerate for a few hours for the flavors to marry.
