Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 2 lbs red potatoes, cubed

Dressing

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard

Add-ins

  • 1 small red onion, chopped
  • 5 strips cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup chopped parsley
  • ¼ cup chopped dill pickles

Seasoning & Garnish

  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: chopped chives or green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the Potatoes: Place the cubed red potatoes into a large pot and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cook the potatoes for 10-15 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Drain the potatoes and let them cool to room temperature to prevent the dressing from becoming runny.
  2. Prepare the Dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar until smooth and creamy. Using a hand mixer can help achieve a smoother texture.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Add the cooled potatoes, chopped red onion, crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped parsley, and chopped dill pickles to the dressing. Gently stir to combine, taking care not to mash the potatoes.
  4. Season to Taste: Season with salt and pepper as needed. Taste before adding extra salt because bacon and pickles already add saltiness.
  5. Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld and the dressing to thicken slightly.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Just before serving, garnish with chopped chives or green onions and optionally sprinkle paprika for color and freshness.

Notes

  • Use red potatoes as they hold their shape well after boiling.
  • Allow potatoes to cool completely before mixing with dressing to keep the salad creamy.
  • Adjust vinegar and mustard quantities for more tang if desired.
  • For a vegetarian version, omit bacon and add smoked paprika for a smoky flavor.
  • Chilling overnight improves flavor even more.
