Potato Salad with Horseradish and Dill

This variation on our American Potato Salad, published in the July/August 2004 issue of Cook's Illustrated, pairs the sharp flavor of horseradish with the herbal sweetness of dill. Quick and easy to prepare, it is a perfect side dish for a weeknight barbecue.Serve it alongside our Grilled Chicken Kebabs (see link to recipe, below).
Serves 4 to 6

2 pounds (3 to 4 medium) russet potatoes, peeled and cut into
3/4-inch cubes
Salt
2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
1 medium celery rib, chopped fine (about 1/2 cup)
2 tablespoons minced red onion
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 to 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
1/4 cup minced fresh dill
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley leaves
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1. Place potatoes in large saucepan and add water to cover by 1 inch.
Bring to boil over medium-high heat; add 1 tablespoon salt, reduce
heat to medium, and simmer, stirring once or twice, until potatoes
are tender (a thin-bladed paring knife can be slipped in and out of
center of potato with no resistance), about 8 minutes.

2. Drain potatoes and transfer to large bowl. Add vinegar and, using rubber spatula, toss gently to combine. Let stand until potatoes are just warm, about 20 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, in small bowl, stir together celery, onion, mayonnaise, horseradish, dill, parsley, pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Using rubber spatula, gently fold dressing into cooled potatoes. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour; serve. (Potato salad can be covered and refrigerated up to 1 day; if fully chilled, let stand at room temperature about 30 minutes before serving.)
 
Summer Menu
For an easy summer dinner of moist but well-grilled kebabs, marinate the chicken overnight (so it's ready to go after work). Pair with our Potato Salad with Horseradish and Dill (above) and our Classic Lemonade, which skips the juicer and instead relies on mashed lemons and sugar for subtle sweetness and full lemon flavor.
