Instructions

Start by adding the baby potatoes to a large pot and cover them with cool water. Sprinkle in 1 tablespoon of Kosher salt and bring the water to a boil over high heat.
Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat slightly to maintain a steady simmer. Cook the potatoes for about 15 minutes or until they are just fork-tender. Strain them into a colander or transfer them to a clean prep bowl using a slotted spoon. Set them aside to cool.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the buttermilk, mayo, dill, traditional Dijon, whole grain mustard, the remaining 1 ½ teaspoons of Kosher salt, and season with pepper to taste. Set the dressing aside.
Once the potatoes have cooled, slice each one in half (or more if they are large) and place them in a large mixing bowl. Add the celery, green onions, and the reserved dressing to the bowl.
Give everything a gentle toss to coat the potatoes and vegetables evenly with the creamy dressing.
For an extra touch of freshness, garnish the potato salad with lemon peel. You can also add a few additional cracks of black pepper and a sprinkle of fresh dill on top before serving, if desired. The Creamy Dijon Dill Potato Salad is now ready to be enjoyed! Serve it immediately or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
