Creamy dill red potato salad with red potato chunks coated in Greek yogurt dressing and garnished with fresh dill, chives, and black pepper in a vintage serving bowl.

Creamy Dill Red Potato Salad

Fold the potatoes into the tangy yogurt dressing while they are still a little warm, and the seasoning settles right in. After a chill, fresh dill gives this creamy salad its unmistakable garden scent.

Plain Greek yogurt gives this potato salad a creamy texture that still feels fresh and light. Dill, chives, and scallions bring bright herb flavor, while folding the potatoes into the dressing when they are just warm helps the seasoning settle into every bite. It is especially well suited for cookouts, picnics, grilled meats, and sandwiches.

Granny’s Kitchen Notes

From Betty Lou Gardner

I like this salad because it feels a little lighter than some of the potato salads I make, but it still has plenty of flavor. I let the potatoes cool until they are just warm before I mix everything together. They seem to soak up the dill and chives better that way. This is one I often put on the table when hamburgers or grilled chicken are on the menu.
