Cooking Instructions
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the baby potatoes and cook for about 15–20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Drain and let cool slightly.
In a large bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are well blended.
Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them into bite-sized pieces. Add these potato cubes to the creamy dressing and gently fold everything together, making sure the potatoes are generously coated.
Gently fold in the crumbled bacon and shredded cheddar cheese (if using). The bacon will add a delightful crunch, while the cheese brings extra flavor.
Cover the potato salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully, ensuring every bite is bursting with taste.
Before serving, garnish your Steakhouse Potato Salad with fresh chives. Serve chilled or at room temperature for the best experience!
