Ingredients

• 900 grams Baby potatoes
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 100 grams Walnuts
• 100 grams Blue cheese
• 120 milliliters Mayonnaise
• 120 milliliters Sour cream
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon White wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Chives (chopped)
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut any larger ones in half to ensure even cooking.

Step 2

Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 3

While the potatoes are cooking, toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are fragrant and lightly browned. Once toasted, set them aside to cool, then roughly chop.

Step 4

Drain the cooked potatoes and allow them to cool to room temperature. Set aside.

Step 5

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, and white wine vinegar until smooth and well combined.

Step 6

In a large serving bowl, combine the cooled potatoes, crumbled blue cheese, chopped walnuts, parsley, and chives.

Step 7

Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss until all the ingredients are evenly coated.

Step 8

Season with black pepper to taste, then refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 9

Serve the potato salad chilled, garnished with additional parsley or blue cheese crumbs if desired.
