Ingredients

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the small red potatoes and cook for 15-20 minutes until tender when pierced with a fork.
  2. Drain the potatoes and rinse briefly with cool water to stop the cooking process. Let them cool completely.
  3. Once cooled, slice the potatoes in half or into quarters, depending on their size.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, dried dillweed, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.
  5. Place the sliced potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Pour the dressing over the potatoes.
  6. Gently toss the potatoes with the dressing using a spatula until every piece is evenly coated.
  7. If desired, chop toasted hazelnuts and sprinkle them over the top for added crunch and flavor.
  8. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
