This Salt and Vinegar Potato Salad is a vibrant, tangy twist on the classic. Made without mayo, it highlights the sharpness of white vinegar and freshness of herbs like dill and chives, delivering maximum flavor and a light, refreshing texture. Perfect as a side for summer barbecues or a simple family meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 2 lbs red potatoes, cubed into 1-inch pieces

Dressing

  • 1/4 cup white vinegar
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground

Herbs and Add-ins

  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp chopped chives

Instructions

  1. Cook Potatoes: In a large pot, bring generously salted water to a boil and add the cubed red potatoes. Boil until fork-tender but still holding their shape, about 10-12 minutes, starting to check at 8 minutes to avoid overcooking.
  2. Prepare Dressing: While potatoes cook, whisk together white vinegar, olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until the mixture is well combined and slightly emulsified.
  3. Drain and Dress Potatoes: Immediately drain the hot potatoes and pour the warm dressing over them while they are still steaming hot. This helps the potatoes absorb maximum flavor.
  4. Toss Gently: Gently toss the potatoes with the dressing until each piece is coated and glistening, taking care not to break the potatoes.
  5. Add Herbs: Mix in the chopped fresh dill, finely chopped red onion, and chopped chives while the potatoes are still warm, evenly distributing the herbs throughout the salad.
  6. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld. It tastes even better after sitting overnight. Before serving, give it a gentle stir to refresh the ingredients.

Notes

  • Use white vinegar specifically for its clean, sharp tang; do not substitute with other vinegars.
  • Choose red potatoes for their waxy texture which holds shape during boiling.
  • Fresh herbs like dill and chives are key for bright flavor; dried herbs won’t provide the same effect.
  • Serve chilled or at room temperature for best flavor.
  • This recipe is naturally egg-free and mayonnaise-free, making it lighter than traditional potato salads.
