How to Make It

1. Cook the potatoes Place the chopped potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then cook until they’re tender but not mushy. Drain well.

2. Cool the potatoes Spread the drained potatoes on a cookie sheet or tray to cool quickly. While they’re still warm, sprinkle them with about 1–2 tablespoons of white vinegar and a bit of seasoned salt. This little trick gives them extra tangy flavor!

3. Make the dressing In a small bowl, stir together the vegan mayo, yellow mustard, 1 tablespoon vinegar, celery seed (or celery salt), garlic powder, seasoned salt, and black pepper until nice and creamy.

4. Mix it all up Transfer the cooled potatoes to a large bowl. Add the chopped onion, celery, and lots of fresh dill. Pour the creamy dressing over everything and gently stir until all the potatoes are well coated.

5. Taste and adjust Give it a taste and add more salt, pepper, or dill if you want. You can never have too much dill in my book!

6. Chill (optional but recommended!) Cover and chill it in the fridge for at least an hour if you have time. This helps the flavors really come together.
