Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 1 tablespoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 2 pieces Celery stalks, finely diced
- 0.25 cup Red onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into bite-sized cubes of about 1 inch.
Place the potato cubes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 tablespoon of salt to the water.
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes or until they are fork-tender but not falling apart.
While the potatoes cook, prepare the dressing. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, black pepper, and a pinch of salt until smooth and creamy.
Once the potatoes are done, drain them immediately and let them cool for about 10-15 minutes to reach room temperature.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled potatoes, celery, red onion, parsley, and dill.
Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and gently fold until everything is evenly coated. Be careful not to break up the potatoes too much.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Transfer the potato salad to a serving dish. If desired, sprinkle paprika on top for a pop of color.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to let the flavors meld together.
