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
Protein
- 4 large hard-boiled eggs, chopped
- 6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
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
- Cook the potatoes: Place the peeled and cubed russet potatoes in a large pot, cover them with cold salted water, and bring to a boil. Let the potatoes boil for 15-20 minutes or until they are fork-tender. Once cooked, drain the potatoes in a colander and allow them to cool completely.
- Make the dressing: While the potatoes are cooking, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in a small bowl. Whisk all the ingredients together until you achieve a smooth, creamy dressing.
- 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 cooked bacon, and chopped fresh chives, ensuring an even distribution of ingredients.
- Dress and chill: Pour the prepared dressing over the potato mixture. Gently fold everything together, taking care not to mash the potatoes, until all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
Notes
- Make sure your potatoes are completely cool before adding the dressing to prevent it from becoming watery.
- Feel free to add extra bacon for more smoky flavor if desired.
- Use fresh chives for a bright, fresh taste that elevates the salad.
- Stir gently to avoid breaking down the tender potatoes and maintain a nice texture.
