This classic Danish delicacy, Kold Kartoffelsalat, is a refreshing and tangy cold potato salad that's the perfect accompaniment to any summer gathering or picnic. The combination of creamy potatoes, crisp dill pickles, and a zesty dressing creates a delightful contrast of textures and flavors, making this dish a crowd-pleaser. The salad's history traces back to traditional Danish cuisine, where it is often served at open sandwich buffets or as a side dish to meats at barbecues.

Servings: 6

Ingredients

Potatoes
1 kg, boiled and diced
Red onion
1 medium, finely chopped
Dill pickles
1 cup, diced
Mayonnaise
1/2 cup
Sour cream
1/2 cup
Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon
White vinegar
2 tablespoon
Sugar
1 teaspoon
Salt
1 teaspoon, or to taste
Pepper
1/2 teaspoon, or to taste
Fresh dill
1/4 cup, chopped

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the diced potatoes, chopped red onion, and diced dill pickles.
  2. In a separate bowl, prepare the dressing. Whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.
  3. Gradually pour the dressing over the potato mixture. Gently toss to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
  4. Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This allows the flavors to infuse into the potatoes and creates a more robust flavor profile.
  5. Before serving, sprinkle the salad with fresh dill for added freshness and a pop of color. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.
  6. Enjoy your homemade Kold Kartoffelsalat as a standalone meal or as a side dish at your next summer gathering!
