Bring a large pot of water to a boil. While waiting for the water to boil, peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into bite-sized chunks.
Add the potatoes to the boiling water and cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until they are fork-tender but not falling apart.
While the potatoes are cooking, chop the celery into thin slices and dice the red onion finely. Set both aside.
In a large serving bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, crumbled blue cheese, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and allow them to cool slightly for about 5 minutes. They should still be warm but not hot.
Add the warm potatoes, sliced celery, and diced red onion to the serving bowl with the dressing. Gently toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the freshly chopped parsley over the salad for garnish. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve cold or at room temperature.
