Recipe type: Salad
Serves: 8
Ingredients
  • 5-6 medium red or baking potatoes*
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • ⅔ cup sour cream
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon granulated garlic
  • 1½ teaspoons salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 3 teaspoons mustard
  • 2 teaspoons chopped basil, plus more for garnish
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ dill pickle relish
  • 1 cup diced celery
  • 3 tablespoons finely minced onion
  • 5 chilled hard boiled eggs*
Directions
  1. Dice leftover baked potatoes into bite size chunks, about ½" cubes. Otherwise bring pot of water to boiling. Wash potatoes and place in boiling water. Cook for 30-35 minutes or until knife inserts easily into potato when pierced. Drain water and set aside to cool. Once cooled, cube potatoes into bite size pieces keeping or discarding the skin according to preference.
  2. In a large mixing bowl add mayo, sour cream, paprika, ginger, garlic, salt, pepper, sugar, mustard, basil and oregano. Mix thoroughly. Add dill relish and stir.
  3. Dice celery and mix into mayo mixture. Mince onion and add to mixture. Stir to combine.
  4. Remove shells from eggs. Coarsely cut 4 of the eggs and add to the mayo mixture.
  5. Add 4 cups diced potatoes to dressing. Mix until all potatoes are wet with dressing. If serving that day add more potatoes to reach desired consistency. If reserving for the next day, leave salad a little more wet.
  6. Slice remaining egg before serving for garnish on top of salad. Garnish with sprinkled paprika and chopped green onions or chives as well. You may also garnish with bacon bits.
Notes
*To hard boil eggs, lay in pot. Fill with cool water until eggs are covered. Heat on stove until boiling. Allow to boil for 3 minutes. Put lid on pot and remove from heat. Let sit for 15 minutes. Drain and chill in the fridge for at least an hour.
