Simply Delicious Potato Salad Recipes

EASY SOUR CREAM POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Halve the baby potatoes and cook in a large pot of salted, boiling water until cooked. (The potatoes are cooked when a knife's tip can easily be inserted.)
• Drain the potatoes and allow to cool slightly.
• To make the dressing, mix the sour cream and seasoning and thin out with a little milk or water if necessary.
• Pour the dressing over the cooked potatoes and mix. (Adding the dressing to the potatoes while they are still warm will allow the potatoes to absorb the dressing.)
• Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary then allow to cool completely before serving.

EASY CREAMY POTATO SALAD

• Drain the potatoes and allow to cool to warm room temperature then peel and cut into large chunks.

CLASSIC POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes: In a large pot, cover potatoes with cold, salted water (1 teaspoon salt). Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, about 20 minutes. Drain, and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking. (If you want, add some pickle juice to the drained, still slightly warm potatoes. The potatoes will absorb some of the juices, making them even tastier!)
• Meanwhile, cook the bacon: Heat a frying pan on medium low. Lay out the strips of bacon in a single layer. Gently cook, turning over occasionally with tongs, until lightly browned, and much of the fat rendered out. Place on a plate lined with paper towels to soak up the excess fat. Do not pour any fat from the pan down the drain, it will clog it. Instead, pour it into a jar, or sop up with paper towels and discard. Once cool, chop the bacon finely.
• Assemble the potato salad: In a large bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, and mustard. Add a little salt and pepper. Add the potatoes and use a rubber spatula to gently combine with the sour cream mixture. Add the green onions, celery, parsley, pickles, and bacon, again gently combining. (Include a couple tablespoons of the pickle juice for good measure.) Season to taste with salt and pepper.
