Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 2 large Celery stalks
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon White vinegar
Directions
Step 1
1. Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into bite-sized, 1-inch cubes to ensure even cooking.
Step 2
2. Place the potatoes into a large pot and cover them with cold water, ensuring the water is at least 1 inch above the potatoes. Add a generous pinch of salt to the water.
Step 3
3. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes for 12-15 minutes, or until they are fork-tender but not falling apart.
Step 4
4. Drain the potatoes immediately and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Let them cool slightly for about 10 minutes.
Step 5
5. While the potatoes cool, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream, and white vinegar until smooth and creamy.
Step 6
6. Finely dice the celery and red onion. Chop the fresh parsley. Add these ingredients to the cooled potatoes in the bowl.
Step 7
7. Pour the mayonnaise dressing over the potatoes and mix gently using a rubber spatula or large spoon. Be careful not to break the potatoes while mixing.
Step 8
8. Sprinkle in the salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Step 9
9. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 10
