Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and diced

Instructions

  1. Place diced potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook for 10-12 minutes until tender but still firm. Drain and let cool slightly.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the dressing.
  3. Add the warm potatoes to the dressing and gently fold to coat evenly.
  4. Stir in shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, green onions, and chopped parsley.
  5. Cover and refrigerate the potato salad for at least 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to meld.
  6. Give the salad a gentle stir before serving and adjust seasoning if necessary.

For extra crunch, add chopped celery or diced red bell pepper. Serve chilled for best flavor.
