For the best flavor, use high-quality mayonnaise and full-fat sour cream. Don't overcook the potatoes, or they will become mushy. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed before chilling. This salad is best served cold. It can be made up to 2 days in advance. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the dressing.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large pot, place the red potatoes and cover them generously with cold, salted water. Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat. (5 minutes)
02
StepOnce boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and gently simmer the potatoes until they are easily pierced with a fork and tender throughout. (20 minutes)
03
StepCarefully drain the potatoes in a colander and allow them to cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, cube the potatoes into bite-sized pieces.
04
StepTransfer the cubed potatoes to a large mixing bowl.
05
StepIn a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, red wine vinegar, sugar, dried minced onion, and celery seed until well combined and smooth.
06
StepPour the dressing over the warm potatoes and gently stir until the potatoes are evenly coated. Be careful not to overmix.
07
StepGently fold in the chopped hard-cooked eggs, distributing them evenly throughout the salad.
08
StepSeason the potato salad generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Remember that the flavors will meld and deepen as it chills.
09
StepCover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or transfer the salad to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully develop. (2 hours)
