HERBED POTATO SALAD

MAKES 6 - 8 Servings

INGREDIENTS

• 3 pounds small white potatoes
• Kosher salt
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup buttermilk
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh dill
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup chopped celery
• 1/2 cup chopped red onion
• 2 Tbsp chopped fresh Italian parsley

WHAT TO DO

• Place the potatoes and 2 tablespoons of salt in a large pot of water. Bring the water to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, until the potatoes are barely tender when pierced with a knife. 
• Drain the potatoes in a colander, then place the colander with the potatoes over the empty pot and cover with a clean, dry kitchen towel. Allow the potatoes to steam for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, buttermilk, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, dill, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Set aside.
• When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them in quarters or in half, depending on their size. Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl. 
• While the potatoes are still warm, pour enough dressing over them to moisten. 
• Add the celery and red onion, 2 teaspoons of salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper. 
• Toss well, cover, and refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to blend. 
• Serve cold or at room temperature.
