Steps:
- COOK POTATOES: Wash potatoes (no need to chop yet!). Add potatoes to a large pot, cover with 1 and 1/2 inches of cold water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, salt the water (add 1 teaspoon salt for every 4 cups of water.) Then reduce the heat to medium-low so potatoes are simmering (potatoes will cook at the same speed). Simmer for 12-17 minutes or until easily pierced with a fork (about 13-14 minutes for me).
- FINISHING POTATOES: Meanwhile, set up an ice bath. Add cold water to a large bowl filled with ice. Drain the potatoes and immediately add them to the ice bath. Once cooled, drain thoroughly and transfer to a cutting board. Chop the potatoes into bite-sized (1-inch) chunks and add to a large bowl. Drizzle 1/2 tablespoon of the apple cider vinegar over potatoes and add a pinch of salt. Toss and set aside.
- DRESSING: In a medium-sized bowl, add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, mayo, sour cream, pickle relish, yellow mustard, celery seed, paprika, salt, and pepper to taste (I add 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper). Whisk until smooth and combined.
- ASSEMBLY: Coarsely chop the hard-boiled eggs (See Note 2), finely chop the celery, the pickles, and the sweet onion. Add to the large bowl with the potatoes. Pour the dressing over everything and gently stir to combine. Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 8 hours before eating. Garnish with fresh chives or parsley if desired.

Tips:
- To ensure the potato salad is flavorful, use a combination of waxy and starchy potatoes. Waxy potatoes, like Red Bliss or New Potatoes, hold their shape well when cooked, while starchy potatoes, like Russet or Yukon Gold, break down and create a creamy texture.
- For a more vibrant color, use a variety of colored potatoes, such as purple, yellow, and red.
- To prevent the potatoes from becoming waterlogged, boil them until they are just tender. Overcooked potatoes will absorb too much water and become mushy.
- To make the dressing, use a high-quality blue cheese. A sharp or medium blue cheese will provide the most flavor.
- If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- To add a smoky flavor to the dressing, grill or roast the bacon before crumbling it.
- For a tangy flavor, add a splash of apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar to the dressing.
- To make the salad ahead of time, cook the potatoes and bacon and prepare the dressing up to 2 days in advance. Assemble the salad just before serving.
Conclusion:
This potato salad with creamy blue cheese dressing is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of waxy and starchy potatoes, creamy dressing, and flavorful toppings creates a salad that is both satisfying and addictive. Whether you are serving it at a picnic, potluck, or backyard barbecue, this potato salad is sure to be a hit.
