Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes and Salad Mix

  • 2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 4 large hard-boiled eggs, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • ¼ cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, 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 cubed russet potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain thoroughly in a colander and set aside to cool completely.
  2. Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Combine the salad: In a large mixing bowl, gently toss together the cooled potatoes, chopped hard-boiled eggs, diced celery, finely chopped red onion, crumbled bacon, and chopped fresh chives.
  4. Dress and chill: Pour the prepared dressing over the potato mixture and fold gently until every ingredient is evenly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to chill properly before serving.

Notes

  • Make sure your potatoes are completely cool before adding the dressing to prevent it from becoming watery.
  • Feel free to add extra bacon if you prefer a smokier, richer flavor.
  • Use fresh chives for the best bright and fresh taste.
  • Stir gently when mixing to avoid mashing the tender potatoes and keep the salad texture intact.
