Thoroughly wash and scrub 2 lbs of baby yellow potatoes. Cut them into bite-sized pieces, leaving the peel on for extra texture and flavor.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with water. Add 2 tsp of salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
While the potatoes cook, dice 0.5 medium red onion and 2 celery stalks into small, uniform pieces for texture. Finely chop 2 tbsp of fresh chives and 2 tbsp of fresh parsley.
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp of Dijon mustard, 0.5 cup of mayonnaise, 0.25 cup of sour cream, 2 tsp of red wine vinegar, 1 tsp of honey, 0.5 tsp of ground black pepper, and a pinch of salt to taste. This will create the tangy and creamy dressing.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and allow them to cool for about 15 minutes until they are just warm to the touch.
Transfer the warm potatoes to a large mixing bowl. Add the diced red onion, celery, chopped chives, and parsley to the bowl.
Gently fold the prepared dressing into the potato mixture, ensuring every piece is well-coated. Be careful not to mash the potatoes.
Slice 2 hard-boiled eggs and gently mix them into the salad, or arrange them on top as a garnish for a classic touch.
Refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled and enjoy your new favorite potato salad!
