Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash and peel the Yukon Gold potatoes, then cut them into bite-sized cubes (about 1 inch).
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes, and cook them for 10-12 minutes or until fork-tender. Be careful not to overcook—they should hold their shape.
While the potatoes are cooking, mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the parsley and green onions.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper to create the creamy dressing.
Drain the potatoes and let them cool to room temperature. You can speed this up by spreading them out on a baking sheet to cool more quickly.
Once the potatoes are cool, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Add the chopped parsley and green onions.
Pour the creamy garlic dressing over the potatoes and gently toss to coat everything evenly.
Cover the potato salad and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. For best results, chill for up to 4 hours.
Before serving, give the salad a gentle stir and garnish with extra parsley or green onions, if desired.
