  • Total Time: 2 hours 35 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds red potatoes, unpeeled and cubed
  • ½ small red onion, diced
  • ⅔ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard (or Dijon)

  • 1 teaspoon celery seed
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • Fresh parsley or fresh dill (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 10–12 minutes.
  2. Drain the potatoes and set them aside to cool for about 15 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the diced onion, mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, mustard, salt, pepper, celery seed, and dried dill.
  4. Gently stir in the cooled potatoes and mix until evenly coated.
  5. Cover the potato salad and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley or dill, if desired, before serving.

Notes

  • You can customize this salad by adding ingredients like hard-boiled eggs, bacon, or pickles for extra flavor.
  • For a lighter version, try swapping the mayo and sour cream for Greek yogurt.
