Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Red Potato Salad.
Step 1
Start by washing the red potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Place them in a large pot and cover them with salted water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Let the potatoes simmer gently until they are tender, which should take about 20 minutes. You can check their doneness by piercing them with a fork; they should be soft but not falling apart. Once cooked, drain the potatoes and allow them to cool slightly before cubing them into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed potatoes with mayonnaise, sour cream, red wine vinegar, and sugar. Stir gently until all the potatoes are well coated in the creamy dressing. This is where the magic happens, as the flavors meld together beautifully!
Step 3
Next, add the dried minced onion and celery seed to the bowl, mixing them in for an extra layer of flavor. Then, fold in the chopped hard-cooked eggs, being careful not to break them up too much. Season the salad with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, adjusting according to your preference.
Step 4
Once everything is combined, cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the salad for at least an hour. This chilling time allows the flavors to develop and intensify, making each bite even more delicious!
Step 5
When you're ready to serve, give the salad a gentle stir and taste one last time to see if it needs any additional seasoning. Serve it chilled, and enjoy this creamy, comforting dish at your next gathering or picnic!
