Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 4 medium-sized baked potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold)

Dressing

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Mix-Ins

  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/2 cup chopped celery
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Bake the Potatoes – Begin by washing medium-sized potatoes, then bake them whole at 400°F (200°C) for about 45-50 minutes until tender all the way through. Let them cool enough to handle, then peel the skins off or leave them on for extra texture.
  2. Step 2: Prepare the Dressing – In a mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper until creamy and smooth, creating the perfect tangy dressing that complements the potatoes.
  3. Step 3: Chop and Combine – Dice the baked potatoes into bite-sized chunks and place them in a large bowl. Add chopped green onions, celery, and fresh parsley to mix layers of crisp freshness with tender potatoes.
  4. Step 4: Toss Everything Together – Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and gently toss until every piece is coated with the creamy goodness. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary to balance the flavors just right.
  5. Step 5: Chill and Serve – For best results, refrigerate the baked potato salad for at least an hour before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully, creating a more harmonious dish that’s ready for your table.

Notes

  • Choose Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes for best texture.
  • Don’t overmix; gently stir to keep potato chunks intact.
  • Season potatoes lightly with salt and pepper before adding dressing.
  • Chilling the salad for at least an hour improves the flavor.
  • Add celery or raw onion just before serving to maintain crunchiness.
