Instructions
- Rinse and scrub the potatoes. Place the whole potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring the water to a boil, add some salt, and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Very small potatoes may be done in 10 minutes. Drain; let the potatoes cool until you can handle them. Peel the potatoes and dice into bite-size pieces.
- Place the diced potatoes in a large bowl. Add the celery and green onion. Gently fold in the mayonnaise and sour cream. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours. Add a spoonful of extra mayonnaise or sour cream, if needed, just before serving. Garnish with optional toppings.
Notes
- The potatoes will take about 15-20 minutes in the boiling water to become fork-tender. If you're using baby potatoes, they may only require about 10 minutes, so keep a close eye on them -- you don't want to overcook them and end up with mushy potatoes.
