Ingredients
Scale
2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and quartered
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped celery
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
Instructions
Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt.
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, about 15-20 minutes.
Drain potatoes and let them cool slightly.
While potatoes are cooling, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
Add the cooled potatoes to the bowl with the dressing. Gently toss to coat.
Stir in celery, red onion, and chopped hard-boiled eggs.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to meld.
Notes
For a creamier salad, add a little more mayonnaise.
Adjust seasoning to your taste.
You can add other ingredients like chopped pickles or chives for extra flavor.
