This dish is delicious with a perfect blend of tender red potatoes, crunchy celery, tangy pickles, and fresh herbs, all tossed in a creamy dressing. Let’s dive into the recipe!

You’ll need:

2 pounds small red potatoes
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, white wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar, or dill pickle juice
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon yellow mustard (Dijon or whole grain mustard can be substituted)
2 celery stalks, finely chopped (about 1/3 cup)
1 to 2 medium dill pickles, finely chopped (about 1/3 cup)
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
Salt and fresh ground black pepper

To make:

Cook the Potatoes: Add the potatoes to a large pot and cover with 1 ½ inches of water. Season with salt (use one teaspoon for every quart of water). Bring the water to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.
Prepare an Ice Bath: Meanwhile, set up an ice bath by adding cold water to a medium bowl filled with ice. Drain the potatoes and place them into the ice bath to cool.
Chop the Potatoes: When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, chop them into bite-size chunks and add them to a large bowl. Scatter the vinegar over the potatoes and lightly season with salt.
Make the Dressing: In a separate bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, sour cream, and mustard.
Combine Ingredients: Add the mayonnaise mixture, celery, pickles, parsley, dill, and chives to the potatoes. Gently stir to combine, being careful not to mash the potatoes too much.
Season: Season the salad with salt and pepper to taste. For best results, refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
