1½ lbs baby potatoes, halved
1 large cucumber, thinly sliced
½ cup sour cream
¼ cup mayonnaise
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
1 tbsp lemon juice
Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional: 2 green onions, chopped
Boil the baby potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 10–12 minutes. Drain and cool.
In a large bowl, whisk together sour cream, mayo, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and fresh dill.
Add cooled potatoes, cucumber slices, and green onions to the bowl. Toss gently to coat.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a healthier twist.
Best served cold.
Fresh dill adds the best flavor—avoid dried if possible.
