Ingredients
- 750 grams small potatoes (Yukon Gold or fingerling)
- 120 milliliters sour cream
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 2 tablespoons capers, drained and rinsed
- 1 unit small red onion, finely diced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions
Step 1
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and place them in a large pot. Cover with cold water, add a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil.
Step 2
Reduce heat to a simmer and cook potatoes for 12-15 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Be careful not to overcook them.
Step 3
Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, peel the potatoes if desired or leave the skins on for added texture.
Step 4
Cut the potatoes into bite-sized chunks and set aside to cool completely.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Step 6
Add the chopped dill, capers, and diced red onion to the dressing, stirring to combine.
Step 7
Gently fold the cooled potato chunks into the dressing, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated.
Step 8
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Step 9
Transfer the potato salad to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
Step 10
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
