Ingredients
- 2 pounds red potatoes
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup buttermilk
- 1 packet ranch dressing mix
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions
- 1/2 cup diced celery
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- Wash the potatoes and cut them into bite-sized cubes. Leave the skin on for added texture and flavor.
- Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer the potatoes for about 10-15 minutes or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
- While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the dressing. In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, buttermilk, ranch dressing mix, green onions, celery, parsley, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and let them cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the cooked potatoes and pour the ranch dressing over them. Gently toss to coat all the potatoes evenly with the dressing.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Before serving, give the salad a quick stir and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- Garnish with additional chopped parsley or green onions, if desired.
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
