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
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
- Boil the Potatoes: Place the cubed red potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender. Drain the potatoes and allow them to cool completely.
- Prepare the Dressing: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar until you get a smooth, creamy dressing.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the cooled potatoes into the bowl with the dressing. Then fold in the finely chopped red onion, crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped fresh parsley, and chopped dill pickles. Stir gently to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated. Season the salad to taste with salt and black pepper.
- Chill Before Serving: Cover the potato salad and refrigerate for at least one hour. This resting time allows the flavors to meld together and enhances the overall taste of the salad. Serve chilled.
Notes
- For best texture, make sure to cool the potatoes completely before combining with the dressing to prevent it from becoming watery.
- Use crispy cooked bacon to add a crunchy texture contrast.
- Feel free to add a hard-boiled egg for extra protein and richness.
- This salad can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Adjust the vinegar and mustard amounts to taste for a tangier or milder dressing.
