Creamy Red Potato Salad with Fresh Herbs: The Ultimate Side Dish Recipe


  • Author: Mary

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds small red potatoes

  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, white wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar, or dill pickle juice

  • ½ cup sour cream

  • ¼ cup mayonnaise

  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard (or Dijon/whole grain mustard)

  • 2 celery stalks, finely chopped (about â…“ cup)

  • 1 to 2 medium dill pickles, finely chopped (about â…“ cup)

  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley

  • ¼ cup chopped fresh dill

  • ¼ cup chopped fresh chives

  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste


Instructions

  • Place the red potatoes in a large pot and cover them with water by about 1½ inches. Add salt to the water (approximately 1 teaspoon per quart).

  • Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are easily pierced with a fork.

  • While the potatoes are cooking, prepare an ice bath by filling a medium bowl with ice and cold water. Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and immediately place them into the ice bath to cool.

  • When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, chop them into bite-sized chunks and place them in a large bowl. Drizzle the vinegar (or pickle juice) over the warm potatoes and lightly season with salt.

  • In a separate bowl, mix together the sour cream, mayonnaise, and mustard until well combined.

  • Add the dressing to the potatoes, along with the chopped celery, pickles, parsley, dill, and chives. Gently stir to combine, being careful not to mash the potatoes.

  • Season the salad with additional salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

 

  • For best flavor, cover and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving.
