Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds russet potatoes
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 2 celery stalks
- 0.5 red onion
- 4 hard-boiled eggs
- 3 dill pickles
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Peel and dice the russet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer the potatoes for about 10-12 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and let them cool completely.
While the potatoes are cooling, dice the celery, red onion, and dill pickles into small, uniform pieces. Chop the hard-boiled eggs and parsley and set them aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, yellow mustard, white vinegar, paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until smooth and well incorporated.
Once the potatoes are completely cooled, gently fold them into the dressing mixture. Add the celery, red onion, pickles, hard-boiled eggs, and parsley. Mix until everything is evenly coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Transfer the potato salad to a serving dish. For a final touch, sprinkle a little extra paprika over the top for garnish.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled.
