But every now and then, you come across a new potato salad recipe that makes you stop and say, &#8220;Why didn&#8217;t I think of that?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Case in point: our sour cream potato salad. The ultimate crowd-pleaser, this super creamy spud salad is packed with tender potatoes, tangy sour cream and a medley of prepared ingredients like horseradish, Italian dressing and mustard that amp up the flavors.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you&#8217;re gearing up for a summer barbecue, picnic in the park or simply craving a hearty side dish for your dinner table, this recipe is about to become your new go-to.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Sour Cream Potato Salad<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Potatoes: <\/b>Waxy taters such as red potatoes, fingerlings and Yukon Golds hold their shape well but still absorb dressings without breaking down, making them ideal potatoes for this summer side.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Italian salad dressing:<\/strong> The secret weapon in this savory potato salad is Italian dressing, which gives it a nice zing and herbaceous taste thanks to its premixed combo of oils, vinegar, spices and cheeses.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Eggs:<\/strong> Hard-boiled eggs create the chunky nature of this potato salad while sneaking in more protein. Bright yellow, chopped-up yolks also give it a cheery quality.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sliced celery:<\/strong> A low-calorie ingredient that imparts plenty of healthy crunch to an otherwise creamy salad.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Scallions:<\/strong> A sprinkling of fresh scallion tops helps potato salad look and taste homemade, given their slightly spicy, slightly sweet taste and verdant green color.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mayonnaise:<\/strong> A classic potato salad binder, mayo lends a rich creamy consistency to warm spuds and keeps everything nice and moist.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sour cream:<\/strong> Tangy sour cream and potatoes are a match made in summer salad heaven.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Horseradish:<\/strong> Prepared horseradish and Italian dressing separate this creamy potato salad from its less flavorful peers. If you like it hot, be liberal with your teaspoon amount.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mustard:<\/strong> Some of our most popular potato salad recipes involve a mayo-mustard blend for wet ingredients and this dish is no different.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Celery seed:<\/strong> Along with fresh celery stalks, ground celery seeds provide an aromatic, earthy character to potato salad and help balance the mayo and sour cream fats.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Cook your potatoes<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2074436\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Sour-Cream-Potato-Salad_TOHD24_33222_KristinaVanni_2.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Taste Recipes Sour Cream Potato Salad recipe photo of boiled potatoes in a colander.\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">KRISTINA VANNI FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Place potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water.

Add a few dashes of hot sauce or Tabasco to the bowl.

Shredded carrots and peas are another way to work in extra veggies without picky eaters noticing them.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add macaroni:<\/strong> Have leftover potato salad <em>and<\/em> cooked pasta lying around? Combine the two! In Hawaii, &#8220;mac salad&#8221; merges classic macaroni salad with creamy potato salad for a unique recipe riff that&#8217;s downright delicious and will stretch the life of your sides for lunches throughout the week.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Sour Cream Potato Salad Leftovers<\/h2>\n<p>Add any leftovers to an airtight container or storage bag. Ensure it&#8217;s well sealed and place it in the refrigerator for three to four days. Since this dairy-based salad contains mayo and sour cream, it&#8217;s best not to push your luck beyond that.<\/p>\n<h3>How long can you leave sour cream potato salad at room temperature?<\/h3>\n<p>Having a food-safe summer potluck means this sour cream potato salad has a two-hour maximum time at room temperature. (Temperatures between 40\u00b0F and 140\u00b0 are the danger zone for bacteria reproduction.) Consider keeping the potato salad and other perishable dishes over a bed of ice to help keep them cold.<\/p>\n<h2>Sour Cream Potato Salad Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2074442\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Sour-Cream-Potato-Salad_TOHD24_33222_KristinaVanni_8.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Taste Recipes Sour Cream Potato Salad recipe photo of the finished potato salad in serving dish and served in a bowl.\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">KRISTINA VANNI FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Can you peel the potatoes before boiling them, instead of boiling them and then peeling them?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes! But red potatoes are easier to peel when they\u2019re cooked, so wait until after cooking them. Also, as a bonus, potatoes boiled whole also tend to keep their shape better. You can also leave the peel on for more fiber and a hint of color.<\/p>\n<h3>Is it better to boil or simmer your potatoes for potato salad?<\/h3>\n<p>Chances are, you grew up thinking boiling potatoes in hot water was the best way to cook them for potato salad. On the contrary, the French way is to place whole potatoes in a large saucepan and cover them with cold water. Then slowly bring the water to a simmer\u2014not a rolling boil\u2014as this keeps the spuds&#8217; texture intact and prevents the hot water from activating the starch, which can produce mealy potatoes. Simmer slowly until they are fork tender and you&#8217;ll have the best potatoes for potato salad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Italian dressing and horseradish make this sour cream potato salad different from most, plus those ingredients really add some zip!
