Today’s recipe is an awesome tried & true side dish, Old-Fashioned Potato Salad from Ina Garten, a 5-star recipe!

Best Old-Fashioned Potato Salad (with Buttermilk)

Ina Garten’s 5-star rated Potato Salad is a must try! Hands down the BEST potato salad I’ve ever had. Creamy. Fresh. Delicious. So simple to make. This classic recipe is served year round in our family and is a summer staple for barbecues.

Mayonnaise, buttermilk, Dijon, whole grain mustard seed sauce, along with fresh dill and the crunch of the celery and red onion is perfection. *Ina had me at buttermilk. 🙂

My sister whipped up this salad for a cookout during my visit to Alaska with my girls for spring break.

Since making this awesome recipe the first time, this has been my sister’s go-to potato salad…and mine too. We follow the recipe as directed, but like to use a mixture of red and white potatoes.

If you are looking for a great potato salad, I highly recommend giving this one a try. Friends and family will be asking for the recipe. Also, be sure to use Ina’s tip for cooking the potatoes – the tip for steaming is awesome, the best tip for perfect potatoes.
