Ingredients:
2 lbs baby potatoes (or regular potatoes)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard (or yellow mustard)
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt (more to taste)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper (more to taste)
3 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
1/2 cup celery, diced
1/2 cup red onion, diced (or green onions for a milder flavor)
1 cup pickles (sweet or dill, diced) or relish
Paprika for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
Cook the Potatoes:
Wash the baby potatoes and cut them in half (or quarter larger potatoes). Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt.
Bring to a boil and cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender but not mushy. Test with a fork; they should be easily pierced but still hold their shape. Drain and let cool slightly.
Prepare the Dressing:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.
Combine Ingredients:
Once the potatoes have cooled enough to handle, cut them into bite-sized pieces (if you haven’t done so already) and add them to the mixing bowl with the dressing.
Gently fold in the chopped hard-boiled eggs, celery, red onion, and pickles or relish. Mix until everything is well coated.
Taste and Adjust:
Taste the potato salad and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or mayonnaise according to your preference.
Chill:
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the potato salad to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours (or overnight) to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve:
Before serving, give the potato salad a gentle stir. Garnish with a sprinkle of paprika, if desired. Enjoy!
Tips:
For added flavor, you can mix in chopped bell peppers, fresh herbs (like dill or parsley), or even bacon bits!
