Ingredients

• 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
• 1 cup Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 2 stalks Celery
• 0.5 medium Red onion
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 0.75 cup Mayonnaise
• 0.25 cup Sour cream
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into evenly sized 1-inch chunks.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium heat and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Step 4

While the potatoes are cooking, dice the celery and the red onion into small pieces. Chop the parsley finely and set aside.

Step 5

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

Step 6

When the potatoes are cooked, drain them well and allow them to cool slightly for about 10 minutes.

Step 7

Transfer the warm potatoes to a large mixing bowl. Gently toss the potatoes with the dressing until evenly coated.

Step 8

Add the shredded cheddar cheese, diced celery, red onion, and chopped parsley to the bowl. Carefully mix everything together until combined, being mindful not to break the potatoes too much.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more salt or pepper if desired.

Step 10

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to let the flavors meld together.

Step 11

Serve the potato cheddar salad cold or at room temperature and garnish with additional parsley if desired.
