Ingredients

• 6 medium Russet potatoes
• 2 medium Carrots
• 3 large Celery stalks
• 3 stalks Green onions
• 3 large Eggs
• 1.5 cups Sour cream
• 0.5 cups Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Yellow mustard
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 envelopes Gelatin
• 0.25 cups Cold water
• 0.5 cups Hot water

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the potatoes into 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

Place potatoes in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 10-12 minutes until tender, then drain and let cool completely.

Step 3

While the potatoes are cooking, peel and dice the carrots, and finely chop the celery and green onions.

Step 4

In a separate pot, boil the eggs for 10 minutes, then cool, peel, and dice them.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, mustard, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water and let it bloom for 5 minutes. Stir in the hot water until the gelatin dissolves completely.

Step 7

Gently fold the cooked potatoes, carrots, celery, green onions, and chopped eggs into the sour cream mixture.

Step 8

Slowly pour the gelatin mixture into the potato salad and stir until fully combined.

Step 9

Line a standard loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving enough overhang to cover the top.

Step 10

Spoon the potato salad mixture into the loaf pan, spreading it evenly and pressing gently to remove air pockets.

Step 11

Cover the top with the overhanging plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to set.

Step 12

To serve, gently lift the salad loaf out of the pan using the plastic wrap. Invert it onto a serving plate and carefully peel off the plastic wrap.

Step 13

Garnish with additional parsley or a sprinkle of paprika if desired before slicing and serving.
