Instructions
- Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Rinse the potatoes under cold water so they are cool enough to handle. Use a pairing knife to slip off the skins if desired. Cut the potatoes into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large bowl. Sprinkle with vinegar and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- In a separate bowl, mix together sour cream, mayonnaise, and mustard. Once the potatoes have cooled, add this dressing to the potatoes and gently mix.
- Add the chopped red onion, celery, dill pickle, and optional hard-boiled eggs. Stir to combine.
- Fold in the fresh herbs and season with salt and pepper to taste. For best flavor, chill the potato salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
