Method
 

Preparation
  1. Boil potatoes until tender, then cool and cut them into bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.
  3. In a large bowl, gently combine the cooled potatoes with the chopped fresh dill and finely diced red onion.
  4. Pour the prepared dressing over the potato mixture and toss until all ingredients are evenly coated.
  5. Cover the salad and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes before serving to fully allow the flavors to meld.

Notes

For best flavor, make the salad a few hours ahead and chill thoroughly. You can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream for a lighter version. A sprinkle of paprika for garnish adds color.
