Steakhouse Potato Salad

A creamy, flavor-packed potato salad inspired by nostalgic summer picnics, perfect as a side dish for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs red potatoes, cubed
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 small red onion, chopped
  • 5 strips cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup chopped parsley
  • ¼ cup chopped dill pickles
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: chives or green onions

Instructions

  1. Boil the potatoes. Start by washing and cubing your red potatoes. Place them in a large pot, cover with water, and season generously with salt. Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes until fork-tender.
  2. Prepare the dressing. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, and Dijon mustard. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
  3. Combine ingredients. Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and set aside to cool. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled potatoes, chopped red onion, bacon, shredded cheddar, dill pickles, and parsley. Gently fold to combine.
  4. Add the dressing and season. Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and gently stir until every potato piece is coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Chill and serve. Let your potato salad chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld together.

Notes

This salad pairs beautifully with grilled meats, sandwiches, or can be enjoyed on its own. Feel free to get creative with variations based on your taste preferences!
