Potato Salad Recipe

Ingredients:

  • For the Potatoes:
    • 2 pounds red potatoes, quartered
    • 1 teaspoon salt
  • For the Dressing:
    • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
    • 1/4 cup sour cream
    • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
    • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
    • 1 teaspoon sugar
    • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • For the Salad:
    • 1/2 cup chopped celery
    • 1/4 cup chopped red onion
    • 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
    • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Instructions:

  1. Cook the Potatoes:
    • In a large pot, combine potatoes and salt with enough cold water to cover.
    • Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
    • Drain potatoes and let cool slightly.
  2. Make the Dressing:
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, mustard, vinegar, sugar, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Assemble the Salad:
    • Once potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them into 1-inch cubes.
    • In a large bowl, combine potatoes, celery, red onion, dill, and parsley.
    • Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and toss to coat evenly.
  4. Chill and Serve:
    • Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
    • Serve chilled.

Tips:

  • For a creamier salad, add a bit more mayonnaise or sour cream.
  • For a tangier flavor, add a splash of lemon juice.
  • Feel free to customize the salad with your favorite add-ins, such as chopped bacon, hard-boiled eggs, or green onions.
  • For a healthier twist, use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream.
