The World’s Best Sour Cream Potato Salad

July 1, 2014 by Talia Bunting 1 Comment

My sister got married this past weekend. Joy and merriment abounded. And on Saturday night, just as the rain began to pour, 85 people gathered on my mom’s porch for a rehearsal dinner of New York strip, broccoli salad, pasta salad and potato salad (we ate a lot of salad). Everything was so yummy.

The strip went fast, so I had to use pork loin as a model

It was so yummy and my favorite kind of rehearsal dinner – backyard grilling out, delicious sides (potato salad, duh), drinks and a little cornhole. I don’t know what more you want out of life. Except for maybe a little Irish dancing which we did once the rain let up (my brother-in-law is Irish). It was my favorite.

Aren't these two cute? They tie the knot this November!

Since you guys couldn’t all come (my mom said I couldn’t invite all my blog readers — booorring) I thought I’d share the recipe for my potato salad here. That way you can at least have a little taste of what our fabulous weekend was like.

(Sour Cream Based) Potato Salad

As a recent mayonnaise convert, for years I hated potato salad. A perfectly good potato slathered in mayonnaise did not sound appealing to me. And  going to yet another backyard barbecue and only eating a hamburger gets old after awhile.

I knew I liked baked potatoes, so I started throwing in some of the ingredients for a baked potato and voila, it was delicious! I’ll eat traditional potato salad now, but this is still my favorite kind to bring to parties. It can be served warm or cold and is always tasty.
