Can I use dried dill instead of fresh?

Oh honey, I've tried (and regretted it). While dried dill technically "works," you'll lose that vibrant Scandinavian pop. Fresh dill's bright, grassy flavor is non-negotiable here - a tablespoon of chopped fresh beats three teaspoons of dried any day. In a pinch? Add 1 tsp dried to the dressing, then garnish with whatever fresh herbs you’ve got (parsley or chives work in emergencies).

What potatoes make good substitutes if I can't find new potatoes?

Waxy Yukon Golds are my backup MVPs - they hold their shape beautifully like new potatoes with that same buttery texture. Avoid starchy russets unless you want potato mush (been there!). Fingerlings work great too - just halve them lengthwise. Pro tip: steam rather than boil delicate varieties to prevent waterlogging. Check out more potato inspiration here !

How long will this potato salad stay fresh?

Three days max in the fridge - but let's be real, it never lasts that long at my house! The sour cream dressing starts separating after day three, and the dill loses its punch. Store it in glass (less absorption than plastic) and always give it a gentle stir before serving. Want to prep ahead? Boil potatoes and mix dressing separately up to 24 hours in advance - combine at the last minute for peak freshness.
