Description

Creamy and packed with herbs, this potato salad is a refreshing upgrade from classic mayo-based potato salads.

Ingredients

  • 2 pound baby gold potatoes
  • ½ cup AE Dairy sour cream
  • ¼ cup chopped chives
  • ¼ cup chopped dill
  • ¼ cup chopped parsley
  • ½ cup minced celery
  • 3 tablespoons chopped capers + 1 tablespoon caper brine
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon
  • Kosher salt and black pepper

Instructions

  • Add potatoes to a large sauté pan and cover with 2 inches of cold water. Place pan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Season with 1 teaspoon salt, reduce heat to medium and simmer until potatoes are fork-tender, about 20 minutes. Drain potatoes and transfer potatoes to a bowl to cool slightly.

Notes

Herbs: I recommend using a mixture of fresh herbs—use whatever you like and have on hand. Chives, dill and parsley work well together but tarragon, cilantro, and scallions would all be delicious as well.
Storage: store potato salad in a glass container with a tight fitting lid for up to 1 week in the refrigerator. Do not freeze this potato salad.
