Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds red potatoes
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 0.5 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Wash the red potatoes thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized chunks. Leave the skins on for added texture.
Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water, and bring it to a boil over high heat.
Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes for 10-12 minutes or until they are fork-tender but not falling apart.
Drain the potatoes in a colander and set them aside to cool completely. You can speed up the process by spreading them out on a baking sheet.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create a smooth dressing.
Add the cooled potatoes, diced celery, chopped red onion, and hard-boiled eggs (if using) to the bowl with the dressing.
Sprinkle the fresh dill over the mixture and gently toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated in the dressing.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or dill if desired.
Transfer the potato salad to a serving dish, cover, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve cold as a side dish for picnics, barbecues, or any meal. Enjoy!
