Elevate your friday fish with a classic dill potato salad

Potato salad is one of those dishes that, despite its simplicity, can surprise with its variety of flavours. It is the ideal accompaniment to fish, especially on Friday afternoons when, traditionally, many households avoid meat. Potato salad with dill is a combination that tastes great and looks beautiful on the table.

The origin of potato salad traces back to German cuisine, where it is known as kartoffelsalat. Over time, it gained popularity in many countries where it has become an inseparable part of many meals. Potato salad is often served as a side dish to fish, making it an ideal choice for a Friday dinner.

To prepare a potato salad with dill, you need a few simple ingredients:

• 5 tablespoons of mayonnaise,
• 4 tablespoons of natural yogurt,
• 1 tablespoon of mustard,
• Half a bunch of dill,
• Half a bunch of radishes,
