Tangy Mustard and Dill Potato Salad
This potato salad is a tangy, flavorful side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of mustard, dill, and apple cider vinegar gives it a unique and delicious flavor. It can be either served immediately if you want the potatoes to be more firm or refrigerated for several hours to let the flavors meld into each other and the potatoes to absorb more of the dressing.
Potato salad is a classic summer side dish, and this recipe is a twist on the traditional. The tangy mustard and dill dressing gives it a fresh, flavorful taste that will brighten up any picnic or barbecue. I first had this potato salad at a friend's house, and I was immediately hooked. I asked her for the recipe, and she was happy to share it with me. I've been making it ever since, and it's always a hit with my family and friends.
