You Must Know

  • βœ“For the best texture, dress the potatoes while they're still slightly warm so they absorb more flavor from the dressing.
  • βœ“Use the brine from the capers to add extra tanginess and help distribute the dressing throughout the salad.
  • βœ“If making ahead, add the dill and feta just before serving to keep their flavors bright and fresh.

Chef's Notes

For the best texture, dress the potatoes while they're still slightly warm so they absorb more flavor from the dressing.

Use the brine from the capers to add extra tanginess and help distribute the dressing throughout the salad.

If making ahead, add the dill and feta just before serving to keep their flavors bright and fresh.

Serving Suggestions

Serve this potato salad alongside grilled lamb chops, chicken souvlaki, or as part of a Mediterranean mezze platter. It's perfect for outdoor gatherings, potlucks, or as a make-ahead lunch option. The flavors improve after a day in the refrigerator.
