I enjoyed these at a graduation party that I attended. They told me the components, which astonished me. Since then, I’ve continued to make them, and they are always a huge hit! Use your preferred meatball recipe to make hand-rolled meatballs, or buy frozen premade meatballs. Give the boiling process more time if using frozen.

Ingredients
- 1 pound new red potatoes, scrubbed and halved
- 1 pound new white potatoes, scrubbed and halved
- ½ pound fresh green beans, trimmed and snapped
- ½ pound fresh wax beans, trimmed and snapped
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 stalks celery, chopped
- ⅓ cup chopped fresh dill
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place the potatoes into a large pot with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. Add the green beans and wax beans during the last 2 minutes to blanch them. Drain, and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking. Cool before adding to the dressing.
- In a large bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, mustard, celery, dill, salt, and pepper. Add the cooled potatoes and beans, and stir to coat. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Reviews
I doubled up on green beans due to my store not carrying fresh wax beans but other than that I made as written. This was okay but I think the mayo overpowers and it could have used more Dijon. You need to let your potatoes and beans drain really well or you will end up with a watery dressing. This was pretty good but it needs some tweaking in my opinion.
I added more mayonnaise, and used a combination of Dijon and English mustards. Omitted the wax beans as I couldn’t find fresh, and I didn’t think canned would be good. Also cut back on the dill as I’m not a huge fan. I served this at room temperature. Not bad at all. Thanks!
This turned out alright once I added more mayo, and used dijon mustard.(tried a little of two other mustards, but not good) Also, think this needs to be “cool” not cold when you eat it.
