Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds red potatoes
  • 1 ¼ cup mayo
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoons lemon juice
  • ½ red onion (chopped)
  • cup green onion (chopped)
  • ½ cup celery (~1 stalk, cut stalk into three vertical strips prior to chopping)
  • salt to taste
  • ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Chop the red potatoes into bite-sized ½" cubes and place potatoes in a pot of salted cold water and bring to a boil.
  • Boil until tender and easily pierced with a fork, approximately 10 minutes.
  • While potatoes are boiling chop all remaining vegetables and combine in a large bowl with remaining ingredients.
  • When done boiling, drain the hot potatoes and let them cool slightly by rinsing under cold water. Then combine the potatoes with the dressing mixture.
  • Enjoy right away, but the flavors are best when set in the fridge overnight.

Notes

Don't mash the potatoes or the salad won't be creamy. The mashed potatoes will soak up the sauce.
