Description

This creamy potato salad is a perfect side dish for any summer barbecue or picnic. It’s loaded with flavor and the perfect amount of creaminess!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds baby gold potatoes
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons mayo
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup sweet pickle relish
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 11/2 teaspoons celery seed
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 stalks celery (finely diced, 1 cup)
  • 4 hard-boiled eggs (coarsely chopped)
  • 1/2 cup bread and butter pickles
  • 1/4 cup sweet onion (finely diced)
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons fresh chives (or freshly chopped parsley, optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash whole potatoes and place in a large pot. Cover with 1 inch of cold water and bring to a boil. Add 1 teaspoon of salt per 4 cups of water. Reduce heat and simmer for 12–17 minutes, until easily pierced with a fork.
  2. Fill a large bowl with ice and cold water. Drain cooked potatoes and add to ice bath. Once cooled, drain and chop into 1-inch chunks. Place in a bowl, drizzle with 1/2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, add a pinch of salt, toss, and set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine remaining 1/2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, mayo, sour cream, pickle relish, mustard, celery seed, paprika, plus salt and pepper to taste (I add 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper). Whisk until smooth.
  4. Coarsely chop hard-boiled eggs, and finely chop celery, pickles, and onion. Add in a large bowl with potatoes. Pour dressing over dish and gently stir. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour up to 8 hours. Garnish with chives or parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Note 1: Use any type of potatoes you prefer, but baby gold potatoes add a nice creaminess.
  • Note 2: Ensure eggs are coarsely chopped for better texture.
