Ingredients
  

For the salad
  • 2 pounds russet potatoes (peeled and cubed)
  • 4 large hard-boiled eggs (chopped)
  • 2 stalks celery (diced)
  • ¼ cup red onion (finely chopped)
  • 6 slices cooked bacon (crumbled)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives (chopped)
For the dressing
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika

Method
 

Cooking the Potatoes
  1. Place 2 lbs of cubed russet potatoes in a large pot. Cover them with cold salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain well in a colander and set aside to cool.
Making the Dressing
  1. While your potatoes are cooking, whisk together 1 cup mayonnaise, ½ cup sour cream, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, and all the seasonings in a small bowl until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Combining the Salad
  1. In a large bowl, gently mix the cooled potatoes, 4 chopped hard-boiled eggs, 2 diced celery stalks, ¼ cup finely chopped red onion, 6 slices of crumbled bacon, and 2 tablespoons of chopped chives.
Dressing and Chilling
  1. Pour the dressing over the potato mixture. Gently fold everything together until all ingredients are evenly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld beautifully.

Notes

Potato choice: Russet potatoes are great for their starchiness, but feel free to mix in some Yukon golds for a creamier texture. For additional texture, consider adding diced pickles or relish into your mix. If you’re looking for a healthier twist, turkey bacon or pancetta can also work beautifully. Looking to switch things up? Try adding diced jalapeños for a spicy kick or some shredded cheese for an indulgent twist. Vegetarian? Just omit the bacon and replace it with some smoked paprika for that same depth of flavor.
