Main Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Red Potatoes Substitution: Yukon Gold potatoes may be used for a buttery flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Adjust to taste.
  • 4 large Eggs Tip: Steam for easy peeling and perfect doneness.
  • 2 stalks Celery Can substitute green onions for a milder taste.
  • 1 medium Red Onion Sweet onions can be a milder alternative.
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Dill Substitution: Fresh parsley for a different herbal note.
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Chives Substitution: Green onions can also work here.

Dressing Ingredients

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Wash and cube the red potatoes, then place them in a large pot of salted boiling water for 15-20 minutes or until tender. Drain and set aside to cool.
  • While the potatoes cook, steam the eggs for about 12 minutes. Once done, cool them under cold water, peel, and chop.
  • Dice the celery and red onion into small pieces.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sour cream, and dijon mustard until smooth.
  • In a large bowl, combine the cooled potatoes, chopped eggs, diced celery, and onion. Pour the dressing over the top, add the dill and chives, and gently fold everything together.
  • Let the salad chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving.
