Ingredients

• 4 pounds new potatoes
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1.5 cups mayonnaise
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 3 large celery stalks, finely diced
• 1 small red onion, finely diced
• 3 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons chives, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons paprika (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Scrub the new potatoes under running water to remove any dirt. Leave the skins on for texture and flavor.

Step 2

Cut larger potatoes in half for uniform cooking; small potatoes can be left whole.

Step 3

Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 2 teaspoons of salt to the water.

Step 4

Bring the pot to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes or until they are fork-tender but not falling apart.

Step 5

Drain the potatoes in a colander and let them cool to room temperature. Once cool, cut them into bite-sized pieces, if necessary.

Step 6

In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and black pepper until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 7

Add the diced celery, red onion, chopped dill, parsley, and chives to the dressing. Stir to combine.

Step 8

Gently fold the cooled, chopped potatoes into the dressing mixture, ensuring all potatoes are coated evenly.

Step 9

Transfer the potato salad to a serving dish. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 10

Optional: Just before serving, sprinkle with paprika for a pop of color.

Step 11

Serve chilled and enjoy with your crowd!
