Scale
Potatoes
- 2 lbs Yukon Gold or red potatoes
Buffalo Sauce
- 3/4 cup Buffalo sauce
Vegetables
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Dressing
- 1 cup sour cream
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Start by washing and peeling your potatoes. Cut them into bite-sized cubes and boil them in salted water until tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain and let cool.
- Mix the Creamy Base: In a large bowl, combine sour cream, Buffalo sauce, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to create a smooth dressing that will coat the potatoes.
- Add Fresh Ingredients: Once the potatoes have cooled, add them to the bowl along with chopped celery, green onions, and parsley. Gently fold everything together to ensure even coating without mashing the potatoes.
- Adjust the Flavor: Take a moment to taste your Buffalo Potato Salad. If you desire more heat, add extra Buffalo sauce. Mix well and taste again until you achieve your perfect flavor balance.
- Chill and Serve: Cover the bowl and place the salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This chilling time helps the flavors meld beautifully. Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
- Don’t Overcook the Potatoes: Aim for tender but firm potatoes; overcooking can lead to mushiness.
- Cool Before Mixing: Ensure your potatoes are cool before adding them to the dressing to maintain the right texture.
- Mix in Batches: If making a large batch, consider mixing in smaller sections to evenly distribute flavors.
- Use High-quality Ingredients: Choosing good-quality sauce and fresh veggies can elevate your dish significantly.
- Allow Time to Chill: Chilling allows all the flavors to blend and enhances the overall taste of the salad.
