This New England-style potato salad swaps the traditional mayonnaise for a luxurious sour cream base, creating a lighter yet incredibly creamy texture. Waxy potatoes hold their shape perfectly, absorbing the tangy kick from vinegar and prepared mustard. The addition of fresh celery, onion, and garlic provides a crisp, aromatic crunch that balances the richness. Hard-boiled eggs and sliced olives add protein and a subtle briny depth. It’s a comforting, crowd-pleasing side dish that shines at summer barbecues, holiday gatherings, or as a hearty lunch accompaniment. Unlike oil-based salads, this version tastes best when served chilled and fresh.
