This is a great potato salad, perfect for any cookout or potluck. A little sour cream makes the dressing smooth and creamy.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 pounds red-skinned potatoes, scrubbed and peeled or not peeled
  • 2 large eggs, hard-cooked, peeled, and chopped
  • 1/2 cup chopped celery
  • 1/4 cup chopped red onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onion (scallions)
  • 2/3 to 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sour cream, optional
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Preparation:

Cut the potatoes into bite-size chunks and put in a medium saucepan. Cover the potatoes with water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and boil for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until potatoes are just tender. Drain and cool completely.

Put the potatoes in a large bowl with the chopped eggs, celery, red and green onion. Chill thoroughly.

Combine the mayonnaise, white vinegar, sour cream, salt, and pepper. Gently stir the mayonnaise mixture into the potato mixture until well blended.

Serves 4.
