basic potato salad by joanie

This simple potato salad is "da bomb," and it's also a delicious starting point for a more elaborate potato salad. I'm thinking something with cornichons and hard-boiled eggs... Or maybe curry and roasted cauliflower... What about roasted chicken and grapes? Or how about apples and bacon? Bacon...

Ingredients

  • 1 lb (about 4) red or yellow potatoes
  • 2 ribs celery
  • 1/4 red onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped parsley
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tsp dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
6 sides

Directions

Wash potatoes, remove any eyes, and cut into 1" cubes. (I love the skin, but if you're a skin-hater then you'll want to peel your potatoes before cutting them.)

Put potatoes into a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until you can insert a fork and easily remove it (about 15 minutes). Don't overcook. Drain potatoes and let cool.

Meanwhile, dice the celery and onion. Add them to a large bowl. Chop up the parsley and add to bowl. Add sour cream, mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

Add potatoes and gently stir until combined. Cover and chill before serving.
