Ingredients
Method
Cooking the Potatoes
- 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
- 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
- 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
- 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.
