Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Potatoes (Yukon Gold or red-skinned)
- 1.5 cups Ham (diced)
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese (cubed or shredded)
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon White vinegar
- 3 stalks Green onions (sliced)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and peel them if desired. Cut them into bite-sized cubes.
Place the potato cubes in a large pot of salted water. Bring it to a boil and cook them until fork-tender, about 12-15 minutes. Be careful not to overcook to avoid mushy potatoes.
Drain the cooked potatoes and allow them to cool slightly. Transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Add the diced ham, cheddar cheese, green onions, and parsley to the bowl with the cooled potatoes.
Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and gently toss to combine, being careful not to break the potatoes.
Taste the salad and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled as a side dish. Garnish with extra parsley or green onion, if desired.
