How to Make Barefoot Contessa's Herb Potato Salad

  1. Wash and scrub 2 pounds of small white potatoes (or red/Yukon Gold). Cut into 1-inch pieces.
  2. Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt.
  3. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.
  4. While potatoes are cooking, prepare the dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup sour cream, 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives, 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon fresh dill (chopped), 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Drain the cooked potatoes and let them cool slightly.
  6. Gently fold the potatoes into the dressing. Add 2 hard-boiled eggs (chopped) and 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion (optional).
  7. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld before serving.
