Instructions

Boil and Chop Potatoes

Start by putting the potatoes in a large pot and covering them with salted water. Bring the water to a boil, then lower the heat to medium-low and let the potatoes simmer until they’re tender, which usually takes about 15 to 20 minutes. Once they’re done, drain the potatoes and let them cool for around 15 minutes. When they’re cool enough to handle, roughly chop them into bite-sized pieces.

Mix and Chill Potato Salad

In a big bowl, mix together the salad dressing, sour cream, chopped onion, parsley, chives, sweet relish, dill relish, mustard, sugar, basil, and celery seed. Gently fold in the chopped potatoes, making sure everything is nicely coated. Cover the bowl and pop it in the fridge for at least 12 hours, or up to 24, so the flavors can really come together and get nice and creamy before serving.

Serving Suggestions

Serve this salad chilled alongside grilled meats, sandwiches, or fresh greens. It also works well as a filling for wraps or as a hearty addition to a picnic spread.

Storage Tips

Store the salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It stays fresh for up to three days but is best enjoyed within two for optimal texture and flavor. Stir gently before serving if the dressing separates.
