🥘 Ingredients

13 items

• 2 pounds baby potatoes
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 8 ounces cream cheese
• 0.5 cup mayonnaise
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon white vinegar
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup green onions, sliced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. Wash and scrub the baby potatoes, leaving the skins on. Cut larger potatoes in half to ensure even cooking.

2. Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.

3. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for 15–20 minutes or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.

4. While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the cream cheese dressing. In a medium mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

5. Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them well and allow them to cool slightly until they are warm but no longer steaming.

6. Gently toss the warm potatoes with the cream cheese dressing, ensuring each piece is well coated.

7. Add the sliced green onions, parsley, and crumbled bacon to the potato salad. Fold gently to combine.

8. Serve the potato salad warm as a side dish, or refrigerate for 1–2 hours if you prefer it chilled. Garnish with extra parsley or bacon if desired.
