Instructions

Boil and Cool Potatoes

Start by putting the potatoes in a big pot and cover them with salted water. Bring it to a boil, then turn the heat down to medium-low and let them simmer until they’re tender, which usually takes about 15 to 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes and let them cool for around 15 minutes before chopping them roughly.

Mix Dressing and Potatoes

In a large bowl, mix together the salad dressing, sour cream, chopped onion, parsley, chives, both sweet and dill relish, mustard, sugar, basil, and celery seed. Once the potatoes have cooled and been chopped, add them to the bowl and give everything a good stir so the potatoes get nicely coated.

Chill the Salad

Cover the salad and pop it in the fridge for at least 12 hours, or up to 24 if you can wait — this gives all the flavors time to come together beautifully.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

This salad is creamy and smooth, with tender potatoes that melt in your mouth. It’s a perfect balance of flavors and textures, making it a comforting side dish for any meal. The rich dressing adds a delightful touch without overpowering the natural taste of the potatoes.

Serving Suggestions

Serve this salad chilled or at room temperature alongside grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or fresh green salads. It also pairs well with picnic dishes and sandwiches for a refreshing, hearty side.

Storage Tips

Store the salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir gently before serving to redistribute the dressing. Avoid freezing, as the texture may become watery and less appealing.
