Creamy Dill Potato Salad
This sounds like a lovely, lower fat, summer salad with a bit of a twist on traditional potato salad. I've not tried it yet, but have had similar versions and have been looking for a potato salad with peas. I've actually combined three recipes here and am looking forward to giving this one a go. Prep time does not include chill time. Note: Always slightly undercook potatoes for salads, since they keep cooking after they're drained and you don't want mushy salad. Warm potatoes soak up more dressing than cold ones.

DIRECTIONS
- Slice, but do not peel, baby potatoes in half (quarter if they are larger).
- Place in large saucepan, cover with water, bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to medium and simmer 10 - 12 minutes, until potatoes are fork tender (see note in description). Add peas during last minute. Drain and place in a large bowl.
- Mix bacon pieces, green onions and red pepper pieces in with potatoes and peas.
- In a medium bowl, blend together cream cheese, buttermilk, dill, sea salt and fresh ground pepper.
- Pour dressing over potato mixture and stir to coat.
- Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve (flavour improves if refrigerated overnight).
- Potatoes absorb dressing as they sit so you may add up to 50 ml more buttermilk or even some sour cream.
