Dill Potato Salad, It Ain't Your Standard Potato Salad!

There are probably 9 million versions of potato salad out there.  When it came time to prepare the menu for Easter Dinner at our house I was torn between a hot potato side dish and some kind of potato salad.  We were serving among other things, ham, baked beans and deviled eggs.  Potato salad seemed the obvious choice.  But I wanted something a little different from the usual mustard, pickles and egg-style potato salad.  I thought about whipping up a version with blue cheese.  Then I mentioned red potatoes with a sour cream and dill sauce.  My husband heard the word "DILL" and it was decided.  Dill Potato Salad for Easter Dinner.  It's delicious, and a perfect accompaniment to any meal, especially a Spring or Summer time picnic or cook out.
