Quick and Easy Potato Salad

An interesting variation on potato salad.  It turns out a light brown color because of the onion soup mix – a bit odd, but tastes good – like onion soup dip.  I added a pound of bacon to a double recipe because, you know, BACON.

Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 3/4 in pieces
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 2 celery ribs, finely diced
  • 1⁄2 medium red onion
  • 2 large hard-boiled eggs (optional)
  • 3 Tabs sour cream
  • 1⁄ c mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp mustard
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 2 -3 Tab onion soup mix (I put 3 but I like the onion’s)
  • salt and pepper

Directions:

  1. Put potato pieces in a large saucepan and add water to cover the potatoes by one inch.
  2. Salt the water.
  3. Bring to a gentle boil over medium high heat.
  4. Reduce heat and allow to simmer for 5 to 8 minutes until potatoes are tender.
  5. Drain potatoes in a colander and allow to cool.
  6. In the meantime, mix sour cream, mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, onion soup mix, salt, and pepper.
  7. Transfer potatoes into a medium bowl.
  8. Add celery, egg and onion.
  9. Pour dressing over top and mix gently.
  10. Chill for about an hour in the refrigerator. Four hours for best flavor.
