Ingredients

• 2 lb Baby red potatoes
• 2 pieces Celery stalks
• 3 stalks Green onions
• 2 tbsp Fresh dill
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 2 tsp Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp Kosher salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Optional: crumbled bacon

Directions

Step 1

Wash and scrub the baby red potatoes, then place them in a large pot. Cover with cold water and add a generous pinch of salt.

Step 2

Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook the potatoes until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Step 3

While the potatoes cook, finely chop the celery stalks, green onions, dill, and parsley. Set aside.

Step 4

In a medium mixing bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together sour cream, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, kosher salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 5

Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and let them cool for a few minutes. Chop them into bite-sized chunks and transfer them to a large serving bowl.

Step 6

Pour the dressing over the warm potatoes and gently toss until well-coated. This allows the potatoes to absorb some of the flavors from the dressing.

Step 7

Add the chopped celery, green onions, dill, and parsley to the bowl with the potatoes. Toss gently until evenly distributed.

Step 8

Optional: For extra texture and flavor, sprinkle crumbled bacon on top just before serving.

Step 9

Cover and chill the potato salad in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to let the flavors meld together.

Step 10

Serve cold and garnish with additional fresh herbs, if desired.
