Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes
- 1 tbsp Salt
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp White vinegar
- 2 Celery stalks, diced
- 0.5 Red onion, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 3 Hard-boiled eggs, chopped
- 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
- 0.25 tsp Paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and dice the Yukon Gold potatoes into evenly sized 1-inch cubes.
In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add 1 tablespoon of salt. Add the diced potatoes and cook for about 10-15 minutes or until they are fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly before transferring them to a large mixing bowl.
In a separate small bowl, prepare the dressing by combining mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, and white vinegar. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Add the celery, red onion, parsley, and hard-boiled eggs to the cooled potatoes.
Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and gently toss everything together until the potatoes are fully coated. Be careful not to mash the potatoes while mixing.
Season with ground black pepper and additional salt to taste.
Transfer the potato salad to a serving dish. Sprinkle with paprika for garnish, if desired.
Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve cold and enjoy your creamy potato salad!
