Description
This red potato salad is a creamy, flavorful side dish made with red potatoes, hard-boiled eggs, and a tangy mustard dressing, perfect for summer gatherings and family meals.
Ingredients
3 pounds red potatoes, cut into chunks
4 large hard-cooked eggs, chopped
1 cup low-fat sour cream
½ cup light mayonnaise
⅓ celery stalk, chopped
2 green onions, chopped
1 dill pickle, chopped
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1 dash hot sauce
1 tablespoon dried dill weed
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 dash onion salt
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place the potatoes in a large pot and add enough water to cover them. Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes for about 10 minutes or until easily pierced with a fork. Drain the potatoes and transfer them to a large bowl to cool.
- While the potatoes cool, prepare the dressing by mixing the hard-cooked eggs, sour cream, mayonnaise, chopped celery, green onions, pickles, Dijon mustard, vinegar, and hot sauce in a separate bowl. Season with dill weed, garlic powder, onion salt, and adjust the salt and pepper to your taste.
- Once the potatoes have cooled, gently toss them with the dressing until well coated.
- Refrigerate the salad for at least 3 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Notes
- For a tangy twist, replace some or all of the sour cream with fat-free plain yogurt.
- Fresh herbs like parsley, chives, or tarragon can be added for extra flavor.
- To make this vegan, swap the mayonnaise and sour cream with plant-based versions and use tofu or chickpea salad as an egg replacer.
- For more spice, increase the hot sauce or add diced jalapeños.
