Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes & 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

  1. Cook the potatoes: Place the peeled and cubed russet potatoes into a large pot, cover them with cold salted water, and bring to a boil. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain well in a colander and allow them to cool completely.
  2. Make the dressing: While the potatoes are cooking, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in a small bowl until the dressing 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 until evenly distributed.
  4. Dress and chill: Pour the prepared dressing over the potato mixture and fold gently until everything is evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.

Notes

  • Use russet potatoes for a fluffy texture that absorbs the dressing well.
  • Cool the potatoes completely to prevent the dressing from becoming watery.
  • Chilling the salad for at least an hour enhances the flavor fusion.
  • For a lighter version, substitute half of the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
  • Make sure the bacon is crispy for added texture and flavor.
  • This salad can be made a day in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator.
