Ingredients

• 2 pounds red-skinned potatoes
• 0.5 cup mayonnaise
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 0.75 cup blue cheese crumbles
• 2 tablespoons hot sauce
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 3 stalks green onions, chopped
• 2 stalks celery, diced
• 1 large red bell pepper, diced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash the red-skinned potatoes thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized cubes, leaving the skin on for added color and texture.

Step 2

Place the potato cubes into a large pot of salted water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 12-15 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 3

Drain the cooked potatoes and spread them out on a baking sheet to cool slightly for 10 minutes.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, blue cheese crumbles, hot sauce, and Dijon mustard. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Add the chopped green onions, diced celery, diced red bell pepper, and fresh parsley to the dressing mixture. Stir to distribute the vegetables evenly.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Season with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.

Step 8

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 9

Before serving, give the potato salad a gentle stir and garnish with additional parsley or blue cheese crumbles, if desired.

Step 10

Serve chilled and enjoy this bold and flavorful twist on traditional potato salad!
