Contest-Winning Old-Fashioned Potato Salad
We live at the edge of Pennsylvania Dutch Country, where there are lots of small farms. Country markets are plentiful here, so potatoes are a staple.

- 3 hard-boiled large eggs, chopped
- 2 celery ribs, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon prepared mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Too much sugar, not enough mustard, and too runny. Sour cream was good. I added bacon, which helped offset the sweetness. I thought the potatoes would soak up more of the dressing, but even the next day there was a lot pooled in the container. I could make adjustments to make it more to my liking, but will probably find a different recipe.
Wasn't sure at first how sour cream would work in potato salad but it was really good.
I'm an old southern woman and this is hands down, the best recipe ever! The only change I made was adding a little dill weed. Perfect.
Delicious
Delicious!!!!!!!! I substituted sweet pickle relish instead of vinegar. This recipe is a winner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great potato salad! This recipe reminds me a lot of the potato salad I get at McAlister's. Has a nice crunch, and is slightly tangy. 2/14/18
Excellent recipe as is and deserving of blue ribbon. It is a good basic recipe that can serve as a platform for individual taste tweaks. This is almost the recipe I grew up with, in fact I like this one a tad bit more. The texture is creamy AND crunchy which to me is essential.
Delicious. We like the combination of the Sour Cream and Mayonnaise. I sometimes increase the egg and add chopped Green or Red peppers. A keeper!
This was good. I eliminated the sugar and the sour cream. Had someone who was lactose intolerant here for dinner. It still tasted good. Will make again the same way. Thanks for the recipe.
Found this recipe when I had a luncheon day after New Years and I was serving ham sandwiches leftover from baked ham. Delicious. Could have eaten it all myself. Didn't have sour cream on hand so used all mayonnaise. Came out fine. Nice combination of tart and sweet seasonings. Went very well with ham sandwiches.
