Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds small red potatoes or fingerlings, scrubbed and quartered
  • 3/4 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
  • 3 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 cup fresh dill, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh chives or green onions, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 small red onion, finely diced (optional)
  • Salt and white pepper to taste
  • Fresh dill sprigs for garnish

Instructions

  1. Boil the Potatoes: In a large pot of well-salted water, bring the potatoes to a gentle boil until fork-tender but firm (about 15-20 minutes). Drain using a colander.
  2. Prepare the Dressing: In a mixing bowl, whisk together sour cream, vinegar, sugar, salt, and white pepper. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  3. Combine: While the potatoes are warm, add them to the dressing and mix gently.
  4. Add Fresh Herbs: Fold in dill, chives, parsley, and red onion if desired.
  5. Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour (preferably longer) to let flavors meld.
  6. Serve: Stir gently before serving; garnish with fresh dill sprigs.
