POTATO SALAD



Potato Salad image

Our favorite Potato Salad with Yukon gold potatoes, celery, pickles, hard-boiled eggs, sweet onion, and the best creamy dressing with fresh chives.

Provided by Chelsea Lords

Categories     Salad

Time 2h5m

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 pounds baby Yukon gold potatoes ((See Note 1))
Fine sea salt and freshly cracked pepper
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, (divided)
3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons regular mayonnaise ((we like Best Foods/Hellman's))
1/3 cup sour cream
1/2 cup sweet pickle relish
1 tablespoon yellow mustard (not Dijon mustard)
1 and 1/2 teaspoons celery seed
1/4 teaspoon paprika
2 stalks celery, (finely diced (~1 cup; 117g))
4 hard-boiled eggs, (coarsely chopped)
1/2 cup bread and butter pickles, (finely diced)
1/4 cup sweet onion, (finely diced)
Optional: 1-2 tablespoons fresh chives or freshly chopped parsley, additional paprika

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:

  • For a creamy and flavorful potato salad, use Yukon Gold or red potatoes. These varieties hold their shape well and have a buttery flavor.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are tender but still firm. Overcooked potatoes will become mushy and fall apart.
  • While the potatoes are boiling, prepare the dressing. This will give the flavors time to meld together.
  • Use a combination of mayonnaise, sour cream, and Greek yogurt for a tangy and creamy dressing. You can also add a dollop of Dijon mustard or horseradish for extra flavor.
  • Add chopped celery, onion, and pickles for a classic potato salad flavor. You can also add other vegetables, such as carrots, peas, or corn.
  • Season the potato salad with salt, pepper, and paprika. You can also add fresh herbs, such as dill, chives, or parsley.
  • Chill the potato salad for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and meld together.
  • Serve the potato salad as a side dish at your next barbecue, picnic, or potluck.

Conclusion:

Tangy creamy potato salad is a classic summer dish that is always a hit at potlucks and barbecues. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect potato salad that will be enjoyed by everyone.
