Sour Cream Potato Salad (Without Mayo)

Potato salad:

1. Cook potatoes: Scrub the potatoes and place them in a pan or pot large enough to hold them all comfortably. Cover with cold water and add salt generously. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer the potatoes, uncovered, until tender. Depending on their size, this might take between 10 and 20 minutes. Start checking after 5-7 minutes already if the potatoes are very small.Check by pushing a fork, small knife, or skewer through their center. The utensil used should slide all the way easily to the center of the potato.2 lbs small waxy potatoes/ 1 kg
2. Slice potatoes: Drain in a colander, rinse with cold water, and leave for 5-10 minutes or until cool enough to handle. Peel and slice. Place the pieces in a large bowl.
3. Cook the bacon strips in a large pan on low heat. When it starts to curl, use the tongs to turn each slice to cook on the other side. Let it brown evenly on both sides; it will not take long. Transfer the pieces to a large plate lined with kitchen paper, which will absorb the excess fat. When cool enough to handle, tear or cut the bacon into small pieces. Set aside.4-5 thin slices bacon
4. Chop the green onions into thin rings. Add them to the potatoes.3-4 green onions

Sour cream dressing:

1. Make the dressing: Place the sour cream and the heavy or single cream in a small bowl. Stir well. Add the vinegar, mustard, sugar, salt, and pepper to taste. I added about 1 ½ teaspoon fine sea salt, but start with less and add more to taste; not all salt types are equal. Fold in the chopped dill as well.¾ cup sour cream/ 175 g + 5 tablespoons heavy cream + 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar + 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard + 1 teaspoon granulated sugar + 2 tablespoons dill + fine sea salt and ground black pepper
2. Combine: Pour the dressing over the potatoes in the bowl, add the bacon and stir well but carefully.
3. Serve: You can serve the salad immediately or place it in the fridge, covered. Bring to room temperature before serving. Taste and adjust if necessary (more salt, pepper, and vinegar).
