Equipment

  • 1 Medium Pot
  • 1 Skillet
  • 1 Mixing bowl

Ingredients

  • 2 lb Red Potatoes, Cubed
  • 1 cups Cheddar Cheese, Shredded
  • 1/2 cups Mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cups Sour Cream
  • 2 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 2 tbsp Dijon Mustard
  • 1 Small Red Onion, Chopped
  • 5 Strips Bacon, Cooked and Crumbled
  • 1/4 cup Chopped Parsley
  • 1/4 cup Chopped Dill Pickles
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  • Place the cubed red potatoes into a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until fork-tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. Drain well and allow the potatoes to cool completely to prevent the dressing from thinning out.
  • While the potatoes are cooling, prepare the dressing by combining mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar in a large bowl. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
  • Add the cooled potatoes to the bowl along with chopped red onion, crispy bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, parsley, and dill pickles. Gently fold everything together to keep the potatoes intact.
  • Season with salt and black pepper, tasting as you go to ensure the balance is right without over-salting.
  • Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least one hour to allow the flavors to fully develop and the dressing to thicken.
  • Before serving, give the potato salad a light stir and garnish with chopped chives or green onions. Serve chilled and enjoy.

Notes

  • For extra tang, add a splash of vinegar just before serving
  • Keep refrigerated and avoid leaving out too long at room temperature
  • Add a spoonful of mayo before serving if you want a creamier finish
