Simple Potato Salad Recipe

Ingredients

Red potatoes, cut into quarters – Tender, creamy red potatoes hold their shape beautifully and travel like champs for camping meals.
Fresh dill, chopped – Bright, herby, and fresh, dill adds a classic potato salad flavor.
Olive oil – Smooth and light, olive oil keeps this potato salad fresh and flavorful without weighing it down.
Apple cider vinegar – A splash of tangy vinegar wakes everything up and balances the richness perfectly.
Dijon mustard – Bold and slightly spicy, Dijon gives this potato salad its signature zing without overpowering it.

Instructions

1. Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water.

2. Bring to a boil over medium high, reduce to a simmer, and cook until fork tender, 15-20 minutes.

3. Strain the water from the potatoes and rinse with cold water. Allow to cool.

4. In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients. Toss well.

5. Serve.

Recipe Substitutions

Add green onions, red onion, or chives.
Yukon gold potatoes, peeled russet potatoes, or white potatoes work too.
Yellow mustard or brown mustard may be used instead of Dijon.
Create a creamy texture by substituting mayonnaise or sour cream for olive oil.
Add lemon juice, black pepper, fresh herbs, or kosher salt to taste.

Tips and Tricks

Red potatoes are the best option for this easy recipe, but any thin-skin new potatoes will work.
Store potato salad in an airtight container or covered in plastic wrap in the fridge for up to 3 days.
This can be served with warm potatoes and kept at room temperature for an hour or so.
Not a fan of Dijon? Try a mixture of brown mustard, celery seed, and white wine vinegar instead.

Tips for camping meal preparation

Prepare meals in advance at home whenever possible. Leave most of the mess at home where running water is more accessible and clean up is easier. Trust me on this one!
Create “one pot” family style meals for quick dinners that don’t require a lot of thought.
Use tinfoil packets, foil pie pans or pie irons. These tools help to make clean up a breeze!
Pack ingredients in 1 gallon size ziploc bags for flexible storage in small fridges and coolers.
Plan meals that use similar ingredients to help make packing and planning easy. These Cheesy Vegetable Campfire Dip, Loaded Campfire Potatoes and Tinfoil Packet Taco Salad recipes are some of my favorites.
