Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Southern Style Creamy Potato Salad.
Step 1
Start by placing the red potatoes in a large pot and covering them with salted water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and let the potatoes simmer until they are tender, which should take about 20 to 25 minutes. Once they are cooked, drain the potatoes and allow them to cool before chopping them into 1-inch cubes. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped potatoes with the hard-cooked eggs, adding a touch of heartiness to your salad.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, mix together the sour cream, mayonnaise, chopped pimento peppers, and green onions. This creamy dressing is where the magic happens! Next, add in the crispy bacon, yellow mustard, sugar, red wine vinegar, salt, black pepper, celery seed, and garlic powder. Stir everything together until well combined, creating a flavorful dressing that will coat your potatoes beautifully.
Step 3
Pour the dressing over the potato and egg mixture, and gently toss everything together to ensure that each piece is coated in that delicious creamy goodness. To finish, sprinkle a pinch of paprika on top for a pop of color and a hint of flavor. This potato salad is not just a side dish; it's a celebration of flavors that will have everyone coming back for seconds!
How to Serve
Serve chilled or at room temperature as a side dish at barbecues, picnics, or family gatherings. Pair it with grilled meats or enjoy it on its own for a satisfying treat.
How to Store
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If the salad thickens, you can stir in a little extra sour cream or mayonnaise to loosen it up before serving again.
