HOW TO MAKE potato salad?

Delicious Potato Salad: A Step-by-Step Guide

Yields: 6-8 servings

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 20-25 minutes

Ingredients:

* 2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed

* 1/2 cup mayonnaise

* 1/4 cup sour cream

* 1/4 cup chopped celery

* 1/4 cup chopped onion

* 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

* 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

* 1 tablespoon white vinegar

* 1 teaspoon salt

* 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:

1. Cook the Potatoes: Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 tablespoon of salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. Drain the potatoes thoroughly.

2. Prepare the Dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, celery, onion, parsley, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and pepper.

3. Combine and Chill: Add the cooked potatoes to the dressing and gently toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Optional additions:

* Hard-boiled eggs: Add chopped hard-boiled eggs for extra protein and flavor.

* Bacon: Crumble cooked bacon for a smoky taste.

* Pickles: Add chopped dill pickles for a tangy kick.

* Fresh herbs: Experiment with other fresh herbs like chives or dill.

Tips:

* For a creamier potato salad, use a combination of mayonnaise and sour cream.

* If you prefer a tangier flavor, add more vinegar.

* Don't overcook the potatoes, as they will become mushy.

* Make the potato salad ahead of time for the flavors to develop.
