Description

A rich and flavorful potato salad made creamy with mayonnaise and sour cream, enhanced with crispy bacon and fresh chives. Perfect as a side dish for picnics, barbecues, or casual dinners.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 pounds baby potatoes, halved
  • 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook for 10-15 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain and let cool slightly.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar.
  3. Add the warm potatoes to the bowl and toss gently to coat with the dressing.
  4. Stir in crumbled bacon and chopped chives.
  5. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to meld.

Notes

  • Use red or Yukon gold potatoes for best texture and flavor.
  • Let the potatoes cool slightly before mixing to prevent the dressing from becoming runny.
  • Best served chilled, but can be served at room temperature.
