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:
Place the potatoes into a large pot of cold salted water. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes until tender.
Meanwhile, whisk together 2 teaspoons whole-grain mustard, 2 tablespoons muscatel or white wine vinegar, 4 tablespoons olive oil, 1 finely chopped shallot, and a pinch of salt and a black pepper.
Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel, if you prefer, then halve, quarter, or cut them into bite-sized chunks.
Toss the warm potatoes with the mustard dressing until well coated. Set aside to cool completely.
In the meantime, mix together 3 tablespoons mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons sour cream, 1 tablespoon horseradish sauce, and lemon juice.
Once the potatoes are cool, toss them with the prepared mayo dressing and finely sliced scallions until well coated.
Turn the salad into a serving bowl and scatter with the crispy onions just before serving.
Serve and enjoy!
