Ingredients

  • 3 lb baby potatoes sliced in half
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup real mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp granulated garlic or garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic salt
  • 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp fresh dill or 1/4 tsp dried dill
  • 1/2-3/4 tsp celery salt
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes sliced in half
  • 6 medium green onions thinly sliced
  • 1 lb bacon cooked and sliced or crumbled
  • 4 cups chopped green leaf or romaine lettuce plus additional for serving, optional

Instructions

  • Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Season with 1 tsp salt. Bring to a boil, then lower heat to medium-high and simmer for 8-10 minutes, just until fork tender. Drain well and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, garlic, onion powder, garlic salt, pepper, dill and celery salt until fully combined.
  • To the bowl add potatoes, bacon, tomatoes and green onions. Gently mix until evenly coated. (Reserve some bacon and green onion for garnishing)
  • Chill for 4 hours. Add lettuce and mix thoroughly just before serving garnished with reserved bacon and green onion. (May serve warm, chilled or at room temperature, if desired)
  • Chill leftovers in an airtight container. (Lettuce may wilt.)

Notes

Serving suggestion: I like serving this potato salad on a bed of the same lettuce used in the salad.
