Main Ingredients

  • 2 lbs red potatoes, cubed
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 small red onion, chopped
  • 5 strips cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup chopped parsley
  • ¼ cup chopped dill pickles
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: chives or green onions

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Place the cubed red potatoes into a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
  • Once boiling, cook the potatoes for 10-15 minutes, or until fork-tender.
  • Drain the potatoes and let them cool to room temperature.

Mixing the Dressing

  • In a large bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar until combined and creamy.

Combining Ingredients

  • Add the cooled cooked potatoes, finely chopped red onion, crumbled bacon, cheddar cheese, parsley, and dill pickles to the bowl with the dressing.
  • Stir gently to combine, ensuring not to mash the potatoes.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Chilling

  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
  • Garnish with chopped chives or green onions before serving.

Notes

For a healthier version, consider using Greek yogurt instead of sour cream and mayonnaise. You can customize the salad by adding chopped bell peppers or using different types of potatoes.
