Description

A classic creamy potato salad perfect for gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 lb red potatoes (cut into chunks)
  • 4 large hard-cooked eggs (chopped)
  • 1 cup low-fat sour cream
  • 1/2 cup light mayonnaise
  • 1/3 stalk celery (chopped)
  • 2 green onions (chopped)
  • 1 dill pickle (chopped)
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp white vinegar
  • 1 dash hot sauce
  • 1 tbsp dried dill weed
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 dash onion salt
  • salt and black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Place the red potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, about 10 minutes.
  2. Drain the potatoes well and transfer them to a large bowl to cool slightly.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix together the chopped eggs, sour cream, mayonnaise, celery, green onions, dill pickle, Dijon mustard, vinegar, and hot sauce.
  4. Season the dressing with dried dill, garlic powder, onion salt, salt, and pepper.
  5. Pour the dressing over the cooled potatoes and gently toss until evenly coated.
  6. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld.

Notes

  • For a healthier option, use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream.
  • Add chopped herbs like parsley or chives for extra flavor.
