Recipe information
Yield
Serves 4
Ingredients
2 pounds white new potatoes, quartered and cut into 3/4-inch chunks
Coarse salt and fresh ground pepper
3/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream
1/4 cup light mayonnaise
1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions, plus more for garnish (optional)
4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled, for garnish (optional)
Preparation
Step 1
In a large pot, cover the potatoes with salted water. Bring to a boil; reduce the heat. Simmer until the potatoes are tender when pierced with the tip of a sharp paring knife, 12 to 15 minutes. Drain well.
Step 2
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the sour cream and mayonnaise; add the warm potatoes, and gently fold to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Cover; refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 1 day. To serve, season the salad again with salt and pepper; fold in the scallions. Garnish with the bacon and more scallions, if desired.
