Almost Famous Potato Salad

This recipe is a southern potato salad recipe that I tweaked and it has been a total hit!  The secret is the sour cream. Making the potato salad with more sour cream than mayo makes it nice a light. You’re sure to get lots of questions on how come it tastes so light and creamy followed by mmm….

Potato Salad

6 – 8 medium potatoes peeled and diced
1/4 c. chopped green onion tops
3 hard boiled eggs, chopped
1/4 c. diced pimento
1 Tbsp yellow mustard
1/4 c. mayonnaise
1 c. sour cream

Boil the potatoes until tender.
In a large boil mix all the other ingredients. Add the potatoes and mix gently. Serve warm.

*If the potatoes aren’t ‘saucy’ enough you can add more sour cream and mayo – just keep the 1 to 4 ratio. For example 1 tbsp to 4 tbsp.

    Take out the mustard, pimento and the sour cream …. you have my mom’s potato salad. :) Which is her mom’s potato salad and she was from the south. :)

      LOL – That is like half the recipe!
      But really, the sour cream is the secret – it makes the potato salad so light and fluffy instead of heavy like most potato salads.
