Ingredients

• 4 cups leftover boiled or roasted potatoes
• 0.5 cup mayonnaise
• 0.25 cup sour cream
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 0.25 cup red onion, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon paprika (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the leftover potatoes into bite-sized chunks if they aren't already prepared this way. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

In a smaller mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar to create a creamy dressing.

Step 3

Add the diced celery, chopped red onion, and parsley to the potatoes. If using, also add the chopped hard-boiled eggs for extra texture and flavor.

Step 4

Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and toss gently until all the ingredients are evenly coated. Be careful not to break apart the potatoes too much.

Step 5

Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 6

Transfer the potato salad to a serving dish. Garnish with a sprinkle of paprika, if desired, for a pop of color and extra flavor.

Step 7

Serve the salad immediately or refrigerate it for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld together. Best served chilled.
