An Incredibly easy creamy potato salad made with a few ingredients in just 20 minutes: quick, simple and vegetarian side dish that I am sure will be your favourite lunch, side or light dinner. I love this salad cold or warm!
Creamy Potato Salad
My mother always advises me to use new potatoes or red potatoes because they are less starchy and hold their shape when cooked. However, I didn't find any of these in the supermarket, so I went with Yukon Gold potatoes, which was so good.
I found cooking the potatoes as a whole is a bit messy and hard so I prefer to peel, chop then cook them.
The dressing in this salad is SO creamy and tasty, and I used both mayonnaise and sour cream; this combination is SO delicious. Actually, sour cream makes the mayonnaise much lighter and tastier.
I also added onion and garlic to flavor the salad and added some crunchiness as well.
Ingredients
Note: This is an overview of the ingredients. See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.
Potatoes: I used Yukon Gold potatoes. You may also use red potatoes; they go so well in this recipe.
For the creamy dressing: I used Mayonnaise, sour cream, olive oil, salt and ground black pepper. If you don't like Mayonnaise, you can replace it with Greek yogurt.
Onion and garlic: Both onion and garlic give a wonderful flavour and crunchiness to this recipe.
Fresh Parsley: To garnish with.

Four (make the creamy dressing): In a bowl add onion, mayonnaise, sour cream, olive oil, salt and black pepper then combine.
Five: Add the potatoes then mix. Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes(if you like) then sprinkle the chopped parsley and serve.
