Potato salad dressing

[Vivaroo]

Name of Recipe: Potato salad dressing - from Ina Garten's Barefoot Contessa at Home
Ingredients:
1/2 cup fresh dill (10g)
1/2 cup (1 stalk) celery (50g)
1/2 cup (1 small) red onion (30g)
1 cup good mayonnaise (180g)
1/4 cup white wine, milk or buttermilk (45g)
2 tbsp dijon mustard (30g)
2 tbsp grain mustard (30g)
1 tsp salt
1tsp pepper

Preparation:
Chop 1st 3 ingredients 4 seconds on speed 5.
Scrape down sides and add remaining ingredients & blend 5 seconds on speed 2.
Pour over your cooked potatoes & combine.

Tips/Hints:
Makes more than enough dressing for 1.4 kgs (3 pounds) of potatoes.  You can add most to cooked potatoes, and sometimes the potatoes will soak up the dressing after a few hours in the fridge, so add the remainder.  
Sounds like a lot of dill if you're not used to dill, but it's really delicious and has been a consistent hit at gatherings.

Thanks for this - I love Ina's recipes. They are usually very reliable.

This looks really good Vivaroo. With the Queensland summer on its way I'm sure this will be put to good use in this household.

Hope you enjoy it.  I was at the markets early on Sunday; there were kipfler potatoes at a great price and a huge bunch of dill so I knew what I had to do. 

There are so many versions of potato salad.  I like the way I had it once in Austria, seemed to be a vinegar/sugar base rather than creamy, and the potatoes were yellow.  Anyone know this one?

Vivaroo, I have a little recipe book a friend bought me back from Austria.  There is a recipe in it called Tyrolean-style Potato salad using canned salad potatoes that I can give you if you like but there is a note that says

"Viennese Potato Salad is also well know in eastern Austria, where it is made without diced bacon.  A small, yellow, almost waxy potato from that region, (Kipfler) is particularly suited for such salads".
I found the recipe for you as that may be more of what you are thinking about.

I will give this a go, sounds nice, do you mean white wine vinegar?

Give it a try Hally - it's definitely wine not vinegar, sounded a bit weird to me when I first read the recipe.  It thins the sauce and gives it a little tang, but not too sharp. 

JudyDawn that Viennese salad sounds like the one, there was no bacon in the one I remember and I was near Vienna.  Thanks

Hi JD - I finally tried the Viennese Potato Salad last night and it was lovely.  A good change from the usual mayonnaise salad but still seemed kind of creamy, the idea of adding stock over the cooked potatoes is good so it is not dry.

Thanks for letting me know Viv, I had completely forgotten about it
