Are you a potato salad fan?
Is potato salad a summer staple for you?
I see the question sometimes asking if you are a creamy potato salad person or a vinegar-y/no mayonnaise potato salad person? For me? There really is only one type of potato salad and that is the classic mayonnaise one.
Maybe because it is the one I grew up with and it reminds me of large family gatherings at Grandmas house in the summer. Yep! Creamy potato salad is the winner for me.
I had seen a package of a dozen hard boiled eggs in the grocery store and knew I would come up with the creamiest potato salad recipe once home and I think you will agree that this recipe is a good one.
I also had a bag of baby potatoes from The Little Potato Company (link to website) in my pantry so I knew I could whip up a gluten free potato salad in no time.
Cooking does not have to be difficult or what I mean is, it doesn’t have to be all homemade. There is nothing wrong with picking up a bag of hard boiled eggs at the grocery store for quick convenience. Little short cuts here and there can make cooking easier for you.
The only other must have for this potato salad is fresh dill. While you could use dried dill there is nothing like fresh dill for a punch of flavour and I highly suggest you pick it up. Most grocery stores carry the fresh herbs now.
Hope you give this recipe a try.
