Ingredients

• 2 lbs baby potatoes
• 3 oz blue cheese
• 0.5 cups sour cream
• 0.25 cups mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 tsp Dijon mustard
• 3 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
• 2 stalks celery, finely chopped
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Place the baby potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Add a generous pinch of salt to the water.

Step 2

Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 12-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. Drain the potatoes and set them aside to cool to room temperature.

Step 3

While the potatoes are cooling, prepare the dressing. In a large bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, blue cheese, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard. Mix well until smooth.

Step 4

Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them into bite-sized chunks and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.

Step 5

Add the sliced green onions, chopped celery, and parsley to the potatoes.

Step 6

Pour the dressing over the potato mixture, and gently toss to coat all the ingredients evenly.

Step 7

Season the salad with salt and black pepper to taste, adding more if desired.

Step 8

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow the salad to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.

Step 9

Serve the blue cheese potato salad cold, garnished with additional parsley or crumbled blue cheese if desired.
