Instructions
Instructions
- Cook the potatoes: Place potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 12-15 minutes until fork tender. Drain well and let cool for about 15 minutes.
- Prepare the dressing: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, garlic, apple cider vinegar, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Assemble the salad: Add the cooled potatoes, bacon, cheddar cheese, green onions, and parsley to the bowl.

- Chill and serve: Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. Garnish with extra bacon, cheddar, green onions, and black pepper for the ultimate steakhouse presentation.
Notes
For the best texture, avoid overcooking the potatoes. This potato salad tastes even better after chilling for several hours, allowing the flavors to meld together. You can substitute Greek yogurt for part of the sour cream for a lighter version without sacrificing creaminess.
