No BBQ spread is complete without a perfect potato salad—creamy, tangy, and packed with just the right amount of crunch. This recipe uses Celtique Brilliance Celtic Sea Salt to enhance the natural sweetness of the potatoes, while a secret ingredient keeps it from turning mushy.
Why This Recipe Works
- ✅ Perfect texture (no mushy potatoes!)
- ✅ Bright, balanced flavor with a tangy-sweet dressing
- ✅ Stays fresh for days (ideal for make-ahead BBQs)
Ingredients
For the Potatoes
- 3 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 tbsp Celtique Brilliance Celtic Sea Salt (for boiling)
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar (tossed while warm)
For the Dressing
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp Celtique Brilliance Celtic Sea Salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp celery seed
Mix-Ins
- 4 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
- 1 cup celery, finely diced
- ½ cup red onion, minced
- ¼ cup fresh dill, chopped
- 3 green onions, sliced
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Cook the Potatoes
Boil potatoes in well-salted water (1 tbsp Celtique Brilliance per gallon) until just tender (about 12 mins). Drain, then toss with vinegar while warm (this adds flavor and prevents mushiness).
2. Make the Dressing
Whisk mayo, sour cream, mustard, sugar, 1 tsp Celtique Brilliance salt, pepper, and celery seed until smooth.
3. Combine & Chill
Gently fold potatoes, dressing, eggs, celery, onion, and herbs in a large bowl. Refrigerate at least 2 hours (overnight is better—flavors meld beautifully).
4. Final Touch
Garnish with extra dill and a light sprinkle of Celtique Brilliance salt before serving.
Chef's Secrets
- 🔪 Potato hack: Yukon Golds hold their shape better than russets.
- ⏳ Make ahead: Tastes even better on day 2 (add a splash of milk if too thick).
- 🌶 Spice it up: Add 1 tsp smoked paprika or diced jalapeños.
Serving Ideas
