Creamy Dill Potato Salad is a fabulously delicious, but simple potato salad loaded with the flavor of fresh dill. The chunks of red potato are heavily covered in a sour cream-based dressing.
Simple Ingredients
I love all types of potato salad. This Southern Potato Salad is probably my favorite. But sometimes I’m really craving a dill potato salad like this one. Made with red potatoes, LOTS of sour cream (plus mayo), green onions, and plenty of dill. And that’s about it.
The flavor of the sour cream and dill together is like magic and there’s no need for much else.
I do add a splash of apple cider vinegar to perk up the flavor and a sprinkle of seasoned salt (Lawry’s is my favorite) and celery salt.
Type Of Potatoes To Use
Red potatoes are my favorite for this recipe. You can leave the skins on or peel them. Yukon Gold potatoes are a good substitute.
Spice It Up
If you want to spice it up some, sprinkle some Tony Chachere’s on top. If there’s one thing my Louisiana college roommates taught me, it’s how good Tony Chachere’s tastes on potato salad. 🙂
Every picnic should have a bowl of Creamy Dill Potato Salad!
Make Ahead and Storage
This recipe should be made at east 1 hour in adavnce to give the flavors time to blend. Leftovers will keep in an airtight container for 4 days in the refrigerator.

My store was out of fresh dill. Sub one tablespoon of dried. Also subbed plain Greek yogurt for the sour cream to reduce sodium. Still absolutely delish. The vinegar adds the perfect tang.
Great recipe! I did add about a quarter cup of finely diced red onion to it. Perfect!
Excellent!
I’ve made this a few years in a row for 4th of July and it’s always a hit! Thank you for the recipe. It’s delicious! A good alternative to the generic potato salad.
sounds good . i make almost the same.. add chopped celery , cut up boiled egg and yellow mustard
This creamy dill potato salad was excellent, I did not change a thing . Used some Cajun seasoning for the seasoned salt as suggested. My family is asking for more.
Thank you!
It’s one of my favorites! So happy you enjoyed it Nancy!
