Ingredients

Units Scale

  • 2 Tbsp Fresh Dill
  • 2 Tbsp Lemon Zest (about 12 lemons depending on size)

  • 1/3 cup Creme Fraiche

Instructions

  1. Put a large stock pot of water on to boil.
  2. While you wait for the water to heat up, rinse the 2 pounds of fingerling potatoes and cut in half any that are thumb sized or larger. Leave smaller ones whole and make sure potato pieces are all roughly the same size.

  4. While the potatoes cook, zest the lemon and chop the dill.
  5. Drain the potatoes and set aside to cool.
  6. While the potatoes are cooling, chop the spring onion and make the dressing.
  7. In a large bowl, combine the 2/3 cup of buttermilk, 1/3 mayonnaise, 1/3 cup of creme fraiche, 1 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, lemon zest, and chopped fresh dill. Stir well.
  8. Add the fingerling potatoes and stir well. Lastly, add the spring onions and stir. Serve.

Notes

You can use scallions instead of spring onions.

Full fat or low fat buttermilk can be used.

This salad is best served fresh instead of letting it sit prior to serving.
