Ingredients

• 3 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
• 1 tablespoon Salt
• 1 cup Mayonnaise
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 2 tablespoons White vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 3 pieces Celery stalks, chopped
• 0.5 cup Red onion, finely diced
• 3 pieces Large hard-boiled eggs, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into bite-sized chunks. Place in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 tablespoon of salt to the water.

Step 2

Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for 10-15 minutes or until they are fork-tender but not falling apart.

Step 3

Drain the potatoes in a colander and let them cool for about 15 minutes. Transfer them to a large mixing bowl.

Step 4

While the potatoes are cooling, prepare the dressing. In a medium bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream, white vinegar, Dijon mustard, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Add the chopped celery, diced red onion, chopped eggs, and parsley to the cooled potatoes. Gently toss to combine.

Step 6

Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and fold gently until everything is evenly coated. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 7

Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together. For the best results, chill for 3-4 hours.

Step 8

Before serving, sprinkle the top with a light dusting of paprika for garnish, if desired.

Step 9

Serve cold and enjoy!
