Steakhouse Potato Salad

A creamy and flavorful potato salad, perfect for picnics and BBQs. Packed with tender red potatoes, crispy bacon, and a tangy dressing.

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, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Boil the potatoes: In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Carefully add your cubed red potatoes and boil until fork-tender, about 10-12 minutes.
  2. Drain and cool: Once cooked, drain and let the potatoes cool slightly in a colander.
  3. Cook the bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook your bacon until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and cool before crumbling.
  4. Prepare the dressing: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth.
  5. Combine the ingredients: Add the cooled potatoes to the dressing, then toss in red onion, crumbled bacon, cheese, dill pickles, and parsley. Fold together gently.
  6. Taste test: Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or vinegar as needed.
  7. Chill out: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.
