This creamy homemade potato salad for ten is a budget-friendly, easy-to-make side dish featuring tender Yukon Gold potatoes and a tangy, rich dressing perfect for any gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into bite-sized chunks
  • 1 teaspoon salt (for boiling water)
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 3 celery stalks, finely chopped
  • 4 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 3 hard-boiled eggs, chopped (optional)
  • Paprika, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Peel and cut 5 pounds of Yukon Gold potatoes into roughly 1-inch chunks. Rinse under cold water to remove excess starch.
  2. Place potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water, add 1 teaspoon salt, and bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat. Cook until tender but not falling apart, about 12-15 minutes. Drain and let cool for 10 minutes.
  3. While potatoes cool, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl until smooth and creamy.
  4. Finely chop celery stalks and slice green onions. Peel and chop hard-boiled eggs if using.
  5. Add cooled potatoes to the dressing bowl. Gently fold in celery, green onions, and eggs, being careful not to mash the potatoes. Adjust seasoning if needed.
  6. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to let flavors meld and texture set.
  7. Before serving, sprinkle with paprika. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

Do not overcook potatoes to avoid mushy texture. Use a folding motion when mixing to keep potato chunks intact. Chill for at least 2 hours or overnight for best flavor. Reserve some dressing to add later if salad looks dry after chilling. Yukon Gold potatoes recommended for creamy texture. Optional hard-boiled eggs add crowd-pleasing flavor.
