Ingredients
Here are the ingredients you'll need:
2 pounds of potatoes (preferably Yukon Gold)
4 hard-boiled eggs
1/2 cup of mayonnaise
1/2 cup of sour cream
1/4 cup of pickle juice
1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard
1/2 cup of diced pickles
1/2 cup of diced celery
1/4 cup of diced red onion
1 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley
Potatoes
When it comes to potato salad, the type of potato you use is important. We recommend using Yukon Gold potatoes because they have a creamy texture and hold their shape well when boiled. You can also use red potatoes or russet potatoes, but they may be a bit too starchy and fall apart easily.
Mayonnaise and Sour Cream
Mayonnaise and sour cream are used as the base for the dressing. The mayonnaise provides a creamy texture while the sour cream adds a tangy flavor. You can adjust the ratio of mayonnaise to sour cream to your liking. If you prefer a tangier flavor, add more sour cream. If you prefer a creamier texture, add more mayonnaise.
Pickle Juice and Dijon Mustard
Pickle juice and Dijon mustard add a tangy flavor to the dressing. The pickle juice also helps to keep the potatoes moist and adds a bit of acidity to balance out the creaminess of the dressing.
Pickles, Celery, and Red Onion
Pickles, celery, and red onion add crunch and flavor to the potato salad. You can adjust the amount of each ingredient to your liking. If you prefer a more savory potato salad, add more red onion. If you prefer a more tangy potato salad, add more pickles.
Salt, Pepper, and Parsley
Salt and pepper are used to season the potato salad. Be sure to taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Parsley adds a fresh flavor and brightens up the dish.
Instructions
Here's how to make the best potato salad:
Start by boiling the potatoes. Peel and cut the potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are tender but not falling apart, about 10-12 minutes.
While the potatoes are boiling, make the dressing. In a bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, pickle juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
Once the potatoes are done, drain them and let them cool for a few minutes. While they're still warm, add them to a large bowl.
Add the diced pickles, celery, and red onion to the bowl with the potatoes.
Chop the hard-boiled eggs and add them to the bowl.
Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and toss to combine.
Sprinkle with chopped parsley and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.
