Creamy potato salad with dill, chives, capers, and a tangy mayonnaise-crème fraîche dressing — a Danish summer essential.

Ingredients

1 Boil potatoes in salted water until just tender, about 15 min. Drain and cool slightly.
2 Cut potatoes into bite-size pieces while still warm.
3 Mix mayonnaise, crème fraîche, mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
4 Toss warm potatoes with dressing, dill, chives, capers, and red onion.
5 Let sit at least 30 min for flavours to meld. Best served at room temperature.

Did You Know?

Danish kartoffelsalat must use new potatoes and fresh herbs — anything else is considered an inferior imitation.
