Next  Level Potato Salad

Recipe Description

This Next Level Potato Salad takes a classic crowd-pleaser to another level of deliciousness. Made with boiled waxy potatoes, two types of dressing, fresh scallions, and crispy fried onions, it’s ready in under an hour and easy to prepare. Make this potato salad in advance and let the flavors meld for the best results.  

Why we love it: This unique take on the classic is double dressed, first in a light whole-grain mustard dressing while the potatoes are still hot, then in a mayo-based dressing comprising sour cream, lemon juice, and horseradish sauce. Stir in the finely sliced scallions for an aromatic punch and top with a handful of crispy fried onions, and you’ll end up with a filling, comforting, and hearty salad that’s so good. This is definitely a must-try at your next cookout.   

To make the Next Level Potato Salad, you will need the following ingredients:
