This creamy steakhouse potato salad is the ultimate side dish for summer BBQs, featuring tender potatoes, tangy dressing, crunchy veggies, and smoky bacon.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, peeled and diced into bite-sized chunks
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 cup celery, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 6 slices bacon, crispy and crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional garnish: chives or green onions

Instructions

  1. Place diced potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a generous pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and let cool slightly.
  2. While the potatoes are cooking, fry the bacon in a skillet until crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain. Once cooled, crumble into small pieces.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.
  4. In a large bowl, add the cooled potatoes, celery, red onion, bacon, and parsley. Pour the dressing over the top.
  5. Use a spatula or large spoon to gently mix everything together, ensuring the potatoes are thoroughly coated but not broken apart.
  6. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight) to let the flavors meld together.
  7. Garnish with chives or green onions if desired, and serve chilled.

Notes

For best results, chill the potato salad for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Be gentle when mixing to maintain the chunky texture of the potatoes.
