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
Mix-ins & Toppings
- 1 small red onion, chopped
- 5 strips cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup chopped parsley
- ¼ cup chopped dill pickles
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: chives or green onions for garnish
Instructions
- 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 in a colander and let them cool to room temperature to avoid making the dressing runny.
- Prepare the Dressing: In a large bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar until combined and creamy. Whisk thoroughly or use a hand mixer for a smooth texture.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the cooled potatoes, chopped red onion, crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped parsley, and chopped dill pickles to the dressing. Stir gently to mix without mashing the potatoes, keeping them intact.
- Season to Taste: Add salt and black pepper as needed, tasting carefully since bacon and pickles add saltiness.
- Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to blend and the dressing to thicken.
- Garnish and Serve: Before serving, garnish with chopped chives or sliced green onions, and optionally a sprinkle of paprika for color and extra flavor.
Notes
- Cooling the potatoes before mixing prevents the dressing from becoming watery and keeps the salad creamy.
- Be gentle when stirring to keep the potato chunks intact for better texture.
- Adjust salt carefully since bacon and pickles already contribute saltiness.
- Chilling the salad for longer, even overnight, enhances the flavors further.
- For a lighter version, reduce mayonnaise or substitute with Greek yogurt.
