This classic creamy potato salad is the ultimate comfort food for summer gatherings or holiday feasts. Tender small new potatoes are tossed in a velvety dressing made from mayonnaise, sour cream, and Dijon mustard, balanced with a bright hit of white wine vinegar.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place the small new potatoes whole in a large pot and cover with salted cold water by about 1 inch.
  2. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to maintain a simmer.
  3. Cook the potatoes until they are just tender when pierced with a knife, about 15-20 minutes.
  4. Drain the potatoes and immediately toss them with 1 tablespoon of white wine vinegar to cool slightly.
  5. Allow the potatoes to cool completely, then quarter or cut into bite-size pieces.
  6. Finely mash the peeled hard-boiled eggs in a large mixing bowl using a fork.
  7. Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, remaining white wine vinegar, and sugar to the mashed eggs.
  8. Stir the dressing ingredients together until smooth and well combined.
  9. Season the dressing with hot pepper sauce, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  10. Add the cut potatoes, chopped scallions, and fresh parsley to the bowl.
  11. Gently fold everything together until the potatoes and eggs are evenly coated in the creamy dressing.
  12. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, then chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.
