Ingredients:

5 potatoes
1000g
1/2 cup sour cream
120g
1/3 cup salsa sauce
72g
2 tsp mustard
10g
1/2 cup mayonnaise
120g
1 onion
160g
2 eggs
100g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Potatoes:
1.1. Peel and dice the potatoes into evenly sized cubes.
1.2. Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with water. Add a pinch of salt.
1.3. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender but still firm (about 10-15 minutes).
1.4. Drain the potatoes and let them cool to room temperature.
2. Cook the Eggs:
2.1. While the potatoes are cooking, place the eggs in a small pot and cover them with water.
2.2. Bring the water to a rolling boil, then reduce the heat slightly and let the eggs cook for 10 minutes.
2.3. Once cooked, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool. Peel and chop the eggs once they are cool enough to handle.
3. Prepare the Dressing:
3.1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, salsa sauce, mustard, and mayonnaise. Stir until well combined.
4. Assemble the Salad:
4.1. Add the chopped onion to the dressing and mix thoroughly.
4.2. Carefully fold in the cooled potatoes and chopped eggs. Stir gently to coat everything in the dressing without mashing the potatoes.
5. Chill and Serve:
5.1. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
5.2. Before serving, give the salad a gentle stir and taste for seasoning. Add salt and pepper if desired.
6. Enjoy: Serve your creamy potato salad chilled, garnished with fresh herbs if desired. It's perfect for a picnic, barbecue, or as a hearty side dish.

Tips:

- Use waxy potatoes like red or Yukon gold potatoes, as they hold their shape better when boiled.

- Boil the potatoes with their skins on to help retain their nutrients and flavor, then peel them once cooled.

- Chop the onion finely for a more evenly distributed flavor throughout the salad.

- Let the potato salad sit in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

- Garnish with fresh herbs like dill or parsley for an added touch of color and flavor.

With its creamy texture and rich flavors, creamy potato salad is a delightful addition to any meal. This easy-to-follow recipe is sure to become a favorite in your household. Enjoy this delicious side dish and don't forget to experiment with your own variations to make it even more special.
