Description

A classic easy potato salad using nothing but potatoes, celery, onion in a mayo and sour cream dressing.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 to 5 lb  red potatoes, peeled and cut half (approx. 10-12)
  • 1 cup sweet onion, diced
  • 1 cup celery, diced (2 to 3 stalks)
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

DRESSING

  • 1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper

EQUIPMENT I USED:


Instructions

  1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into large chunks, depending on their size.
  2. Place them in a large pot of cold water covered by at least 2 inches.
  3. Generously salt the water and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender
  4. Meanwhile, dice the onion and celery and set aside. 
  5. Drain the potatoes and let them cool for about 5 minutes or until they stop steaming.
  6. Drizzle about 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar over the potatoes and stir gently to combine. Let them sit for 1 to 2 minutes so the vinegar can absorb.
  7. Mash lightly with a potato masher, keeping some larger chunks. Add the onion and celery, then season with salt and pepper.
  8. In a small bowl, mix the dressing and stir in enough to coat the potatoes evenly. 
  9. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
