A simple and delicious new potato salad recipe, perfect for any occasion. This salad features tender new potatoes in a creamy dressing, making it a crowd-pleasing side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds new potatoes, halved or quartered if large
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: 1/4 cup chopped celery, 1/4 cup chopped red onion

Instructions

  1. Place the new potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt.
  2. Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes until tender, about 15-20 minutes. You should be able to easily pierce them with a fork.
  3. Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly.
  4. While the potatoes are cooling, prepare the dressing. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, parsley, chives, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper.
  5. Add the optional celery and red onion to the dressing if using.
  6. Gently toss the slightly cooled potatoes with the dressing until evenly coated.
  7. Serve immediately or chill for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Notes

  • For an extra creamy salad, use full-fat mayonnaise and sour cream.
  • Adjust the amount of mustard and vinegar to your taste.
  • Feel free to add other ingredients like hard-boiled eggs, capers, or pickles.
  • This salad can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
