My youngest daughter always requests a potato salad for her birthday. My oldest daughter always requests macaroni salad. When I was a child, we ALWAYS had a family bbq in the summer. One of the favourite sides was something we called potatoes with green onion and dill. Still, to this day I make it for my family.

Since we love this so much, I wanted to turn it into a warm potato salad option, that could be a dinner salad. Warm Potato Salad with Dill & Smoked Salmon is a remake of our family recipe.
