Ingredients
  

For the Steakhouse Potato Salad
  • 2 lb baby potatoes
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup green onions, chopped
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Colander
  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Cutting Board
  • Knife
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Serving Spoon

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Start by washing the baby potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Place them in a large pot and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let the potatoes simmer until they are fork-tender, which should take about 15-20 minutes.
  2. Step 2: While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the dressing. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Use a whisk to blend the ingredients until smooth.
  3. Step 3: Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them in a colander and let them cool for about 10 minutes. After they have cooled enough to handle, cut the potatoes into quarters.
  4. Step 4: In your large mixing bowl with the dressing, gently fold in the quartered potatoes. Be careful not to mash the potatoes; you want them to retain their shape and texture. Stir until the potatoes are well-coated with the creamy dressing.
  5. Step 5: Next, fold in the crumbled bacon, chopped green onions, and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir gently to combine all the elements without breaking apart the potatoes.
  6. Step 6: At this point, taste your salad and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or even a splash more vinegar for tanginess.
  7. Step 7: To allow the flavors to meld together, cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and chill the potato salad in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  8. Step 8: Once chilled, give the salad a good stir before serving. If desired, garnish with fresh parsley for an extra touch of color and flavor.
