Recipe: Potato Salad With Dill

Potato Salad generally has mayonnaise. This salad is made from plain thick yogurt. Adding fresh cream is optional. Add your favourite fresh herb. I love the flavour of potato, yogurt and fresh dill.

Mention Potato Salad to my hubby and only one type comes to his mind, the creamy potato salad with dill. Whenever I buy baby potatoes to try out a new dish, he will insist that I make his potato salad. The first time I made it for a dinner party, I used fresh cream. Though it tasted really good, by the time we served it, it had become like a big clumpy thick mass. Next time I made it, I added thick plain yogurt. That worked well. Slowly the cream got replaced totally by thick yogurt. Do we miss the fresh cream in it? Not at all.

Fresh or Dried Dill

While most herbs can be interchangeable for a dish, sorry in this case not at all. I once made it with dried dill and the taste was not the same. One needs the fresh strong flavour and crunch of fresh dill. And when the dill is absolutely fresh and tender, adding a bit of the chopped stem adds more flavour. So while you can replace the nuts, the seeds you cannot replace the dill.

Do I have to use only Baby Potatoes?

Not at all, use any kind of potatoes you want. Just cut the boiled potatoes into chunks. Generally I use baby potatoes as they are easily available.

What is Dill?

Dill is an herb that belongs to the same family as celery. The feathery green leaves and stems are used. Fresh dill has a strong licorice and anise like flavour. The seeds too are used for cooking. Not many like to use dill in their cooking because of the strong flavor. However, I’m a big fan of dill. Also known as Suva, savaa, dill weed, its widely used in India for cooking. It pairs well with yogurt, making it a popular herb to use in the Middle Eastern yogurt based salads.

How to Use Dill

  • I love making Savaa Ni Bhaji – dill and lentil mixed together makes a delicious shaak or sabji. Best enjoyed with hot roti or phukla.
  • Sweet Potato Rolls with Dill
  • Add chopped dill to your khichdi preparation.
  • Chop some cucumber, add chopped dill and it makes a delightful refreshing salad.
  • Have you tried Quinoa with lemon and dill in it? It tastes really good.
  • I’ve had pasta with light lemony creamy dill sauce in a restaurant and it tasted awesome.
