Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups leftover boiled or roasted potatoes
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 0.25 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Cut the leftover potatoes into bite-sized chunks if they aren't already prepared this way. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a smaller mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar to create a creamy dressing.
Add the diced celery, chopped red onion, and parsley to the potatoes. If using, also add the chopped hard-boiled eggs for extra texture and flavor.
Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and toss gently until all the ingredients are evenly coated. Be careful not to break apart the potatoes too much.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed.
Transfer the potato salad to a serving dish. Garnish with a sprinkle of paprika, if desired, for a pop of color and extra flavor.
Serve the salad immediately or refrigerate it for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld together. Best served chilled.
