Key notes while making Lemon Dill Potato Salad
Best Potatoes to use for Healthy Lemon Dill Potato Salad: If you have an option, the weightier potatoes for a potato salad are waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Red Potatoes. I picked up a pack of victual potatoes, considering thats whats misogynist in India and they are not very starchy. So they hold their shape and don't disintegrate when tossed virtually in the dressing.
Season the water while humid Potatoes: It's really important to season the water well while humid the potatoes. Or they'll be bland.
Don't let the potatoes tomfool down!: Since the dressing of this salad is a vinaigrette and not mayo based, the weightier time to dress this salad is while the potatoes are still warm. This helps them soak the dressing up, which ways you have MORE FLAVOUR in each bite. If this was a mayo based salad, then its weightier to let the potatoes tomfool lanugo completely surpassing dressing them so that the salad doesn't get watery.
Make this salad the day before! This salad is sooo good when its made a day early. It really helps develop the flavours and mellows the salad lanugo from stuff uneaten lemony. I like to warm it up in the microwave - warm, not reheat, so that the dressing isn't waxy and melts lanugo surpassing serving.
This healthy lemon dill potato salad is sooo good, you'll probably never go when to using mayonnaise again. Umm maybe that's not true - they are both unconfined in their own way! But for now, I'm sticking with this fresh, lemony, herby salad that's making this heat increasingly bearable!

Notes
