saturday's potato salad

yay! fall has finally arrived... and in our house we welcome it with open arms. our pups can lay in the sunshine without overheating, we can leave the doors open, have a fire..(maybe!), and there's plenty of football and cookin' going on. this past saturday, ben got up early to study and i took the pups for a nice long jog to enjoy the beautiful weather. when we got back, i started thinking about dinner..obvi because i'm always thinking about the next meal and planning my day around it. we had some small red potatoes, dill (leftover from a yummy shrimp orzo dish), celery, onion, mustard and mayo...so i decided to make some homemade potato salad to go with our burgers. the potato salad was so good, you'll have to try it!

what ya need:

1.5 pds small red potatoes
1 cup light mayo
1/4 cup skim milk
2 tablespoons grey poupon
1/2 cup dill
1/2 cup celery
1/2 cup onion
salt and pepper to taste

cut your potatoes into quarters or halves, however you like 'em
and place them in a large pot with salt and bring to a boil. then
lower the heat and simmer for 10-15 min. test the potatoes
with a fork and make sure they are tender. 

drain the potatoes in a colander, then
place the colander over the pot and cover with a
dish towel. leave the potatoes to steam for another 15 min.

while your potatoes are steaming, prep your dressing.
make sure to seperate the fresh dill from it's stems. it's tedious but well
worth it. the finer the dill, the better!
i also added a half of lemon juice. we had
it in the fridge..why not.

in a small bowl, whisk together the mayo, milk,
mustard, dill and 1 tablespoon salt and pepper.

 

once your potatoes have cooled, place them in a bowl to mix

the dressing. i like to save some dressing for after 

it's been resting in the fridge, because sometimes it can dry out. 

add the onion and celery. toss well, cover and place

in the fridge for a few hours to allow the flavors to come together. 

ENJOY!!!
