Method

  1. In a large pot of water, add the potatoes and 2 tablespoons of salt.

  2. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10 to 15 minutes until the potatoes are slightly tender when pierced with a knife.

  3. Drain the potatoes using a colander and place the colander with the potatoes over the empty pot. Cover it with a clean kitchen towel and allow the potatoes to steam for 15 to 20 minutes.

  4. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, buttermilk, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, dill, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Set the dressing aside.

  5. Once the potatoes have cooled down, cut them into quarters or halves depending on their size and place them in a large bowl.

  6. While the potatoes are still warm, pour enough dressing over them to lightly coat. You may need to add more dressing as the salad sits.

  7. Add celery, red onion, 2 teaspoons of salt, and 1 teaspoon of pepper to the bowl. Toss the ingredients well to combine.

  8. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to meld together.

  9. Serve the potato salad cold or at room temperature.
