Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs russet or Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled & cubed
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

  • Peel and cut the potatoes into uniform 1-inch cubes. Place them in a large pot, cover with cold, salted water, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  • Boil the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and let cool slightly.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to prepare the dressing.
  • Add the slightly cooled potatoes to the dressing and gently toss to coat without breaking the potatoes.
  • Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped green onions. For extra crunch, consider adding diced celery or red bell peppers.
  • Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Before serving, give the salad a final stir and garnish with additional green onions if desired. Serve chilled and enjoy!
