Make ahead for maximum flavor infusion and enjoy this irresistible twist on a summer favorite!
Scrub the red potatoes under running water to clean them. Leave the skins on, as they add great texture and color.
Cut any large potatoes in half to ensure even cooking. Smaller potatoes can remain whole.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a generous pinch of salt to the water.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for 12-15 minutes, or until they are fork-tender but not falling apart.
Drain the potatoes in a colander and let them cool until they are safe to handle but still warm, about 10 minutes.
While the potatoes are cooling, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them into bite-sized chunks and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
Add the diced celery, sliced green onions, chopped dill, and parsley to the bowl with the potatoes.
Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and gently toss everything together until evenly coated. Be careful not to mash the potatoes while mixing.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the potato salad for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the potato salad chilled, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh dill or parsley if desired. Enjoy!
