This is a great alternative to the familiar yellow potato salad. The dried dill weed is much more potent than fresh and alleviates some of the blandness of similar recipes.
After making a few minor changes such as adding a little celery seed and increasing the sour cream to 1 cup and decreasing the dillweed to 1-1/2 TBSP, we found this to be a wonderful potato salad.

I liked the idea of this for its simplicity but found it pretty tasteless before I did a lot of doctoring. I added a lot more dill (I used fresh), celery salt, Jane’s Krazy Mixed Up Salt, and some thinly sliced radishes and celery. There was also a little too much mayonnaise for my liking, so I mellowed out the tang with more sour cream. Basic recipes are nice to build upon, but they should also stand alone on their own merits without tinkering being necessary.

Simple and delicious! If you love the flavor of dill, you'll LOVE this potato salad! It tastes a little bit like "sour cream and onion" due to the green onion in this. I followed the recipe exactly, using the optional salt and cracked black pepper. To lighten it up I used Hellman's lite mayo and light sour cream. I really wouldn't change much with this except maybe to use a bit less dill - 1 & 1/2 Tbsp. next time. This is a definite keeper when you want a quick, great tasting potato salad.

This is very good. Reminds me of vegetable dip. A shortcut is to slice your potatoes into bite sized pieces before you boil them.
This was a very good and simple potato salad! I did add just a little celery seed, will make this again & again!
i make this all the time, sometimes with hard boiled eggs. the trick is to keep adding dill until it's very noticable
I first did this with the potatoes to thick and so it was good but when i made the pieces smaller it made a world of difference. This recipe taste the same as my fav from Antone's sandwiches.
best homemade potato saled ever. used only 1 1/2 tbsp dill and upped the sour cream to a cup. yummy. oh and i used light mayo.
Even better than what my Mom used to make. I halved the recipe as there was just myself, my Dad, and my boyfriend from England. Served with Roasted Chicken and Creamed Corn. I did the 2 tblsp of dill as we love dill in our house. Also, I served it warm as my Mom used to do. It was creamy and very dilly...just how we like it.
Excellent .....used 3/4c of low fat sour cream, 1/2c low fat mayo made with olive oil, and 1/2c fat free plain yogurt. Also used fresh dill and more than the recipe calls for. Extremely tasty and sits well in the fridge ad I made this on Friday for Easter Sunday and the flavors melded perfectly. Thanks!
I think this is my new FAVE potato salad...YUM! I did follow the other reviewers advice (increased sour cream to 1 cup and decreased dill to 1 1/2 TB). I also added a little celery and garlic salt. My sour cream and mayo used were both light, turned out delish!
I made this as is and thought it was a bit on the boring side. There just really isn't enough here to give it any good or interesting flavor. I made it because I like dill, but it just didn't really help it. It was OK but I don't think I'd want to make it again.
Mmmm, mmmm! This is delicious! I must admit, I did use fresh herbs (dill & chives) because my garden is growing, and I like to use it ; ). I'll definitely make this again, thanks for sharing your recipe!
If you don't like mustard based potato salads, this is the salad for you. I made a 10 lbs salad, and my goodness did it go fast! In fact I'm making it again this weekend, and everyone is chomping at the bit for some more. What a great salad!
I've been trying to find the recipe that is similar to the deli salad I get from Kroger. This is pretty close, but I had to make some changes. I had to use russets, as it was all I had. It was okay, but I'll defnitely use red or yukon gold potatoes next time because the waxy potatoes hold up better. I also upped the sour cream to equal the mayo. I think I'll cut back on the mayo next time because it was way to mayo-tasting. I added about 4 cloves of minced garlic, and I used a LOT more dill weed. I also drizzled a lot of olive oil in it to give it that similar taste to Kroger's. I forgot the green onions, but I have lots left, so I'm definitely going to add it to the salad. I might even try adding a little celery seed like another reviewer suggested. Hubby actually likes this version a lot more than Kroger's version! Thanks for the recipe!
My Swedish grandfather loved his dill potatoes, and this recipe was similar to what I remember. Simple and good.
This is easy and yummy! I swapped the quantities of mayonnaise and light sour cream and only used 1T dill, which is plenty (and I love dill). Then at the last minute I also chopped up some dill pickles to mix in, and garnished it will dill pickle spears. I'll be making this again!
I was disappointed. I love all the ingredients, but mixed together seemed heavy and lacked flavor. Will not make again.
I have been making this recipe for years. The only difference, I add a couple of spoonfuls of drained dill relish to really accentuate that flavor.
I have made this potato salad for years but I add pickle juice. It adds a zip to it.
Very good and exactly what I was looking for. I needed to double the creamy dressing recipe (use regular mayo not fat free). I also used other's recommendation and added some celery salt. Perfect!
I can't make this potato salad fast enough. The whole household LOVES it! No changes were necessary for me and my clan. It is creamy, less fat and very tasty.
Fantastic! Made it last weekend for a bbq and everyone loved it! Now I am making it for the 4th of July! Just added extra scallion!
I appreciated using this as a guide but I did make a whack of changes as I went, mostly because of what I had on hand and wanted to include. My family and I are very pleased with the results. What I did: - Cut the dill back to 1 1/2 tbsp - Swapped the measures for mayo & sour cream to 3/4 c. & 1 c. respectively and used light versions of both - skipped the green onions and minced a whole med/large yellow onion instead (may try red next time - 3 cloves of garlic, crushed - several hands full of snap peas, chopped - 4 or 5 hard boiled eggs, sliced - several dashes of Hungarian paprika
Awesome recipe- added some capers to give it a little oomph and this may be one of the best potato salad recipes ever!
I've made this recipe several times. It is very tasty and can be adjusted to your personal preference. Tonight I didn't have sour cream so I used plain Greek yogurt. I did change the ratio to 1 part yogurt to 2 parts mayo since yogurt has a bit more tang. I also used chopped red onion since I didn't have green onions. It turned out great as usual!
Sauted the green onions, used fresh dill and substituted the mayo and sour cream with plain non-fat yogurt and 1/2 tsp of white cider vingar. Added some celery seed too. Awesome!
Yum! I love this potato salad! My mom used to make it sometimes too. I used fresh dill instead of dried, and I diced up my potatoes before boiling them. Whenever I make tato salad, I always drain the potatoes and then season them generously with salt and pepper while they're still warm. I think maybe it helps to flavor them up a little. Thanks for the great recipe!
One of our family's favorite potato salads. I add about 1 c. whole milk to the dressing to loosen it up a little & make it easier to go all over the potatoes. Yummy yummy and so easy too!
pretty great. i used fresh dill and added a green pepper, as well as equal amounts of sour cream and mayo. hope people like it.
Lacked flavor. I rescued it by adding lots of mustard and seasonings. Will look for a better recipe.
Good and simple. I also added celery seed and a little Dijon mustard. I used light mayo and it tasted just as good.
Very tasty, even my teenaged boy really liked it. I actually used equal amounts mayo & sour cream, based on what I needed to use up in my fridge & one of the other reviews. This recipe is a keeper for me!
I really liked this potato salad. The cool crisp flavors of the sour cream and the dill and green onions make this a great summer salad on a hot day.
This was so Good..Just like what my mom use to make...and everyone raved about this when I made it for a family cook out we serve it with Steak and Corn on the cob..Thanks High Five and Five Stars all The way :) Oh I wanted to say..I took the skin off of the Potatoes..and I also added a little Pickle Juice .
Terrific recipe! I used low-fat mayo and sour cream, and added a small finely diced red apple for crunch/color, as I am not a celery fan. I also added two diced boiled eggs. As someone mentioned, a good shortcut is to cut the potatoes into at least quarters before boiling.
If you’re used to mustard potato salads, this might not be the recipe for you. It’s creamy and cool, which I think works well in
I loved this. I am not a fan of potato salad that contains white/yellow onions or relish but this one was delicious. Simple, easy to make. I followed everything except the green onions (all our local stores were out of stock.) Even without them, it was good. My son also loved it. I know some reviews say it's too simple but I personally like a simple potato salad. Will make this again soon! (Edited to say 6 days later, I made this again. 5lb of potatoes, with the recipe altered to reflect it. I did bigger chunks and it was just as good as the first time!)
Good basic recipe! Simple and the potatoes are nice and creamy in the mayo and sour cream. Will make again. I added more dill than called for because we like it!
I made it as stated. It was very creamy borderline to much sauce but since it tasted good I let it slide. I will probably use fresh dill next time. Thanks for the recipe.
I've made this twice now and it never fails to please. What I love is how light and bright it is. I think it's ideal for summer and simple enough that it comes out perfect every time. The dill gives it that special spark.
I never bother with potato salad, since I can’t make my mom’s recipe as good as she can, so I decided to try something different and I absolutely love this recipe most of my family does I have one picky eater who won’t touch it. Otherwise it’s a hit. Thanks I’ve made it a few times already and decided I needed to review it.
My three boys LOVE this potato salad. I use plain, nonfat Greek yogurt instead of sour cream and olive oil mayo. It's a hit everywhere I take it. Great recipe! Thanks for sharing!
Great recipe. Added a little celery for crunch. Even the young children in the family liked it.
This was exactly what we were wanting and it turned out amazing! I used fresh dill from our garden instead of dried dill weed, chives from our garden instead of green onions and a little bit of celery salt and a splash of white vinegar. All I can say is that one is definitely a keeper!
This is probably the best dill potato recipe I have ever made. My mother who barely eats aked me to make extra just for her. I was floored! It's so easy and great when ledt to marinate over night.
I love dill potato salad so was excited to try this. I used two tablespoons fresh dill from the garden in place of the dried. It gave it such a fresh flavor. I also used onion powder in place of green onions due to an onion hater in the house. We love boiled eggs in our potato salad so I added those as well as some dill pickle for crunch. Hubby and I enjoyed this. The grandkids, not so much.
I used both fresh and dried dill. More green onions (8), lots of salt and pepper and a tiny bit of mustard powder. It was good but was missing a little something. There’s just two of us so we have a lot left. I’ll probably tweak my individual servings to see what might add a little something
Added some creme friache, fresh celery and sliced red onion instead of the green onions.. Add some salt to the potatoes while boiling them for some additional flavor. Yum!!!!!
Great recipe!! Made it several times now. This last time my daughter suggested a few dashes of cayenne powder. I think that would be a good addition to an already great recipe.
Made exactly to the recipe except subbed 6 tbsp fresh dill for the 2 tbsp dried dill. Best potato salad I’ve ever had! Definitely a keeper.
I liked it very much, as did my wife. I made it to the recipe and it turned out well. There was a lot of dressing for the potatoes - maybe slightly too much; next time I will use 3.5 or even 4 lbs of potatoes for the same dressing amounts. Next time I will also use a full batch of green onions (7-8) rather than just 4. Some Lawry's Seasoned Salt also was a good addition. I'll be making this again.
I used a shallot instead of a green onion and it was a strong oniony flavor. If you don't like that, stick to the green onions. I liked it. Next time, I will season the potatoes before adding the dressing, because it was kind of bland.
Good salad in its own, but also a good starting point. I was trying to duplicate the Dill Potato salad that I get at the Delta Skyclubs. This is pretty close. We will definitely be making it again and again.
Delicious and so quick and easy! Followed suggestions - bumped up the sour cream, used Asian mayo for tartness, reduced dill to 1.5 tbsp, and added finely sliced celery. Will make again!!!
I did make it but only because I did not cut the potatoes before I cooked them some came out less than done than others. Totally my fault but I did enjoy the recipe and will make it again, this time cutting the potatoes before I boil them.
Great recipe and very easy! I do substitute fresh dill for the dried, use 4 tbsp.
This is AMAZING potato salad! As many others suggested, I increased the sour cream to 1 cup and reduced the dried dill weed to 1 ½ TBSP. I cut the potatoes up into about 3/4" dice before cooking, and cooled them in the ice water bath. Oh, I also sprinkled some pickle juice over the potatoes before adding the dressing, as others suggested. This is so good I could eat it every day!! This is my new carry in (pot luck) recipe. Thank you!
Awesome recipe- added some capers to give it a little oomph and this may be one of the best potato salad recipes ever!
I followed the recipe but added a balance of sugar and cider vinegar to give the salad a little more tart flavor.....
I've never seemed to make a good potato salad until this recipe. I used a handful of fresh dill from our garden, white onion and white pepper. It was amazing!! I might add hard boiled eggs and celery salt next time. PRO TIP: Make sure the potatoes are a'dente.
This was a pretty good basic recipe. I left the skins on, as it's my preference. I think maybe a second variety of onions or pickles would really kick this up - or maybe some paprika?
6.8.20 I’m used to having bacon and hard boiled egg in my potato salad, but I must admit that I liked this potato salad even without them. Just a tad weak in flavor, so I probably will tweak the next time to suit our taste, but it’s a good base for a new type of potato salad. (loved the lack of mustard!).
Great basic potato salad! I used dill from the tube, added a celery stalk and hard boiled eggs. It definitely needs the salt and pepper, so don't forget to season it. I also used low-fat sour cream and mayo to lighten it up a bit. It'll go great with my beer can chicken later!
