Best Ever Dill Fingerling Potato Salad Recipe
A naturally colorful, and flavorful potato salad that features fresh dill, sweet onion, and a perfect blend of spices. This Dill Fingerling Potato Salad is the perfect spring or summer side dish.
Potato salad is one of them recipes that everyone has a unique spin on. Some of us like our potato salad with eggs, some with fresh herbs, and others with just mayo. I am all about fresh flavors so today’s recipe is one of my many versions of this summer side dish.
When I was at the market, I couldn’t help but notice the little sack of brightly colored fingerling potatoes for sale. Sure, these little oddly shaped potatoes were much more pricier than their standard counterparts, but I was intrigued. I remember eating a delicious fingerling potato salad when I went to Minnesota a few years back.
It all started when I was brainstorming a yummy side dish that has a unique twist for my Classic New England Clam Strip Rolls. I knew I wanted a potato salad that would be slightly different than most so I decided that purple, red, and yellow fingerling potatoes would be perfect.
Paired with some fresh dill, sweet, white onion, vinegar, lemon juice, and some spices and I had the tastiest batch of potato salad I have enjoyed in a while.
It really went well with my clam strip roll, and I am sure it will go great with a hot dog or burger this summer.
For this recipe, I did not go too heavy on the mayonnaise because I wanted the spices, and dill flavor to really give this salad a burst of flavor.

I love the idea of dill and I must try those fingerling potatoes for a unique spin on potato salad.
I never had purple potatoes before Looks good and would like to recreate this recipe!
Looks like a different way to prepare potato salad, but still sounds delicious to me! I haven’t tried adding apple cider vinegar to potato salad (ours is always the creamy kind), but I sure would love to try your recipe!
This sounds delicious. I had something like this at a restaurant years back but never quite knew how to make it. This just might be the secret recipe.
My husband would go crazy over that salad. He’s all about potatoes! The fresh dill would give this salad a nice, fresh taste. Yummy side dish I can make in the least amount of time. Thanks for the recipe.
This is the kind of potato salad I love to make. I’ve never been a fan of ultra creamy potato salads. They’re just too rich for me. I much prefer a lighter version like this.
This recipe sounds amazing. I love the dill idea and I have to try those fingerling potatoes which I have never heard of before.
