Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Large Bowl

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds russet potatoes peeled and cubed
  • 1 cup mayo
  • ¾ cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 green onions chopped
  • ½ teaspoon celery seed
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Place cubed potatoes in a large pot of cold salted water and bring to a boil over high heat on the stovetop. Boil for ten minutes, or until potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork. Then drain from the water and rinse in a strainer under cold water to cool the potatoes.
  • The the potatoes cook, add mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, mustard, sugar, green onions, celery seed, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to a large mixing bowl. Whisk to combine.
  • Add the cooled potatoes to the bowl with the dressing and fold them together with a rubber spatula until the potatoes are evenly coated. For a creamier texture, lightly mash some of the potatoes as everything is combined.
  • You can serve immediately, but the flavors will continue to meld if stored in the refrigerator overnight.
