Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes and Vegetables

  • 2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • ¼ cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped

Eggs

  • 4 large hard-boiled eggs, chopped

Dressing

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika

Instructions

  1. Cook the potatoes: Place the peeled and cubed russet potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender but not falling apart. Drain thoroughly using a colander and allow the potatoes to cool completely.
  2. Make the dressing: While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the dressing by whisking together mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
  3. Combine the salad: In a large mixing bowl, gently toss the cooled potatoes with chopped hard-boiled eggs, diced celery, finely chopped red onion, and fresh chopped chives. This creates a base for the salad with fresh textures and flavors.
  4. Dress and chill: Pour the prepared dressing over the potato mixture. Gently fold the ingredients together until all components are evenly coated with the creamy dressing. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the potato salad for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to fully meld before serving.

Notes

  • Use russet potatoes for the best texture as they become fluffy but hold their shape well.
  • Ensure potatoes are cooled completely before mixing with dressing to prevent it from becoming watery.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding a dash of smoked paprika or a bit of crispy bacon on top.
  • Potato salad can be made a day in advance for convenience; just keep it refrigerated and stir gently before serving.
  • Adjust seasoning after chilling as flavors develop over time.
