Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 2 pounds red potatoes (washed & cubed)

Dressing

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Salad Add-ins

  • 1 small red onion (finely chopped)
  • 5 crispy cooked bacon strips (crumbled)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup chopped dill pickles
  • Salt & black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Boil the Potatoes: Place the cubed red potatoes into a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat and cook the potatoes for 10 to 15 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. Drain the potatoes and allow them to cool completely.
  2. Prepare the Dressing: In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar. Whisk the ingredients together until the dressing is smooth and well blended.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Add the cooled potatoes to the dressing along with the finely chopped red onion, crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped fresh parsley, and chopped dill pickles. Gently stir everything together until the salad is evenly coated. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  4. Chill Before Serving: Cover the potato salad and refrigerate it for at least one hour. This allows the flavors to meld and the salad to chill properly before serving.

Notes

  • Use red potatoes for a firm texture that holds up well in the salad.
  • Ensure potatoes are fully cooled before mixing with dressing to prevent it from becoming watery.
  • For extra flavor, crisp the bacon just before adding to maintain crunchiness.
  • Adjust the amount of mustard or vinegar for your preferred tanginess.
  • This salad can be made a day in advance to deepen the flavors.
