Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes
- 1 tbsp Salt
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp Onion soup mix (store-bought or homemade)
- 0.5 cup Green onions, chopped
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes (if desired) and cut them into bite-sized chunks, about 1-inch squares.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add the tablespoon of salt to the water.
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat and cook the potatoes until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Be careful not to overcook them, as you don’t want the potatoes to become mushy.
Drain the potatoes in a colander and let them cool for 10-15 minutes at room temperature.
While the potatoes cool, prepare the dressing. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the sour cream, mayonnaise, and onion soup mix until well incorporated.
Once the potatoes have cooled slightly, add them to the mixing bowl with the dressing. Gently toss to coat the potatoes evenly.
Stir in the chopped green onions, parsley, and black pepper. Taste the salad and adjust seasoning if needed.
Transfer the potato salad to a serving bowl and, if desired, sprinkle paprika over the top for garnish.
Chill the onion dip potato salad in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve cold or at room temperature and enjoy!
