This potato salad by Ina Garten is my new favorite potato salad.
This potato salad recipe by Ina Garten is the potato salad recipe that I am making this weekend!
I love it! When I made this last week, I knew it would be the next recipe I featured for my Cooking with Ina series.
My husband is not a huge fan of potato salad, but he really enjoyed this potato salad. He said it tasted like a good restaurant potato salad, which makes total sense since it is an Ina Garten recipe.
I think there are two things that make this potato salad special.
The first is how you cook the potatoes. You boil them and then steam them, and it gives them the best texture.
Instead of just mayonnaise, it also has buttermilk as part of the base. Ina’s original recipe says you can use buttermilk, milk, or white wine. I say skip the milk and white wine and just use buttermilk.
Buttermilk is what I think makes this potato salad so good!
What I Changed
I only changed a couple of things in this recipe. My changes are what are listed in the recipe below.
I changed the salt. I used regular salt instead of Kosher salt.
I used pickled onions instead of raw red onions, and I highly recommend them. They are so good.
This recipe for Ina Garten Potato salad is now my all time favorite potato salad recipe.
Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time30 minutes
Additional Time2 hours
Total Time2 hours40 minutes
Ingredients
3 lbs small red potatoes, scrubbed clean
2 tablespoons salt
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
1/2 cup chopped fresh dill
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup diced celery
1/2 cup diced red onions or pickled red onions, diced
Instructions
Place potatoes in a large pot filled with water. Stir in salt.
Bring the water to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer for 12-15 minutes or until the potatoes are just tender when pierced with a fork or knife.
Drain the potatoes and place them in a colander.
Place the colander full of potatoes back in the pan and cover the pot with a clean kitchen towel. Let the potatoes sit covered for about 20 minutes or until completely tender. This will steam the potatoes.
In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, butter, mustard, dill, 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste, and pepper. Whisk until combined and smooth.
When the potatoes are cool. Cut them into quarters or desired-sized pieces.
Place the potatoes in a large bowl with celery and onion. Add dressing and stir to coat well.
Place in the refrigerator for about 2 hours to blend flavors.
