Red skin potatoes mixed in a creamy dill sour cream and mayonnaise dressing. The perfect potato salad for your next BBQ!
This creamy dill red skin potato salad is made with a combination of sour cream and mayonnaise which gives it a different flavor than most potato salads. The delicious dressing is seasoned with dill, coarse black pepper, garlic and onion powder giving it a cool almost ranch type flavor. A few hard-boiled eggs mixed in make it even creamier. Keeping the skin on the red potatoes adds some nutrients and saves you time prepping.
Ingredients for red skin potato salad
- Hard Boiled Eggs – Calls for three eggs. Can be omitted if you don’t like eggs.
- Red Skin Potatoes – Red potatoes stay firmer after cooking and the skin adds a nice color (plus extra nutrients like fiber!). Potatoes are an excellent source of Vitamin C and a good source of Potassium. This recipe uses approximately two pounds of red potatoes.
- Sour Cream – I used Daisy Light Sour Cream. You can use regular sour cream too.
- Mayonnaise – Duke’s is my go-to.
- Spices: Dried Dill, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Salt, Coarse Ground Black Pepper
- Green Onions – For garnish.

FAQ
What kind of potatoes can I use?
Red Potatoes are ideal for this recipe but petite potatoes, white or yellow potatoes would be a good choice for a substitute. Russet potatoes have thicker skin so if you substitute those, I would consider peeling them.
Can I make this in advance?
If you need to save time, I recommend making the dressing and preparing the hard-boiled eggs a day in advance. It is best to wait and combine all the ingredients the day of serving.
Can I use fresh dill instead of dried dill?
Yes, fresh dill can be used. Substitute 1 ½ tsp. chopped fresh dill for the dried dill.
