Creamy Potato Salad Recipe

This Creamy Potato Salad recipe has so much flavor and it’s definitely a holiday-worthy side dish. Learn how to make potato salad that is 100 times better than store-bought.

We sure love potatoes around here and we sure get creative! It’s no wonder some of our most popular dishes are potato recipes, like our famous mashed potatoes, cheesy potato pancakes, and these crispy smashed potatoes.

Potato Salad Recipe

This Potato Salad is loaded with fresh and crisp cucumber and radishes that make it lighter and supremely satisfying. The creamy dressing has a star ingredient that might surprise you; plain mustard. The flavor is subtle but adding it is GOLD in potato salad.

We love this for the holidays, particularly as a Christmas and Easter salad! Also, my son loved it, giving it two thumbs up (which is a big deal!).

Ingredients for Creamy Potato Salad:

Russet potatoes are our favorite for this salad because they are easy to peel and can be cooked 1-2 days in advanced, covered and refrigerated until ready to use.

The radishes, cucumber and celery and a crisp freshness to this salad that makes it so special for the holidays.

Hard boiled eggs add great protein and texture.

The Best Potato Salad Dressing:

Adding sour cream to the mayo makes it lighter and so creamy. Don’t be afraid of adding mustard. It is not potent in this recipe at all, but makes the salad next-level delicious. You might recognize this potato salad dressing as the same sandwich spread that we developed for our favorite Bakery sandwich.

This creamy potato salad has so much flavor! It's loaded with fresh and crisp cucumber and radishes that make the potato salad lighter and supremely satisfying.
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients 

Servings: 8 as a side dish

Creamy Potato Salad Ingredients:

  • 4-5 russet potatoes, 3 cups cooked and diced
  • 1/2 English Cucumber, 1/2 cup diced
  • 1 bunch radishes, thinly sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, (1/2 cup) finely diced
  • 4 hard boiled eggs, diced
  • 3 Tbsp chives or green onions, finely chopped
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper, or to taste

Potato Salad Dressing Ingredients*:

Instructions

  • Place un-peeled whole potatoes in a medium pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, add 1/2 Tbsp of salt and continue cooking at a medium boil for about 25 minutes or until easily pierced with a fork. Do not overcook - potatoes should not be falling apart when pierced. Remove from water and set aside to cool completely to room temp then peel and dice just before adding to the salad. Potatoes can be cooked 1-2 days in advanced, covered and refrigerated until ready to use.
  • Stir together dressing ingredients and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Combine all prepared ingredients in a large mixing bowl: diced potatoes, diced cucumber, sliced radishes, finely diced celery, diced eggs and chopped green onions. Toss gently to combine. Add all of the dressing, or add to taste. Season with more salt and pepper to taste and serve (I added an extra 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper). Garnish with more chives and freshly cracked black pepper to pretty it up.

    I have not used cucumbers, I use dry mustard. I also chop up the potatoes in bite size pieces before boiling them, seems to save time later. My garnish is Mrs. Dash garlic, no s/p. I have prepared many of your recipes. Delicious! Thanks for the blog.

      Hi Peter, eggs add great protein and texture in this recipe, Understanding not everyone is a fan you can try making it without eggs or finding a suitable substitution to help with the flavor and texture. I haven’t test a substitute myself to advise on one.

    This potato salad is really tasty but too creamy for me. It was really soupy the next day even after stirring it. Maybe if cut down the mayo and sour cream a bit it would be better.. I will try your other potato salad.

      Hi Lynn! I’m sorry to hear that. I don’t have an issue with it being too soupy from the amount of mayo or sour cream. Did you by chance use any substitutions? Be sure to let the potatoes drain really well and I hope you will have better results with another one of my recipes. 🙂

    This recipe is similar to my mom’s: she always used Yukon Gold potatoes w/vinegar added when they were still warm as she believed the potatoes held up better without eroding much. And she separated the egg yolks and added them to the dressing and mixed until smooth. I’m going to try this one out as it also sounds amazing! Your recipes are always reliable!

      I’m from San Antonio, TX and we have a German influence here. I’m Hispanic so we adapted this dish into our own cuisine. We make it a little different but it’s always a staple here with BBQ and other holiday dishes! I use mustard, mayo, sweet pickles, and boiled egg. I’ve never tried the other ingredients but I’d be willing!

    On the potato salad why not peel the potatoes first ?

      I like the spots of color they add to the dish, plus they’re thin enough that they’re usually quite tender. If you prefer to peel yours that should also be fine too. Let us know how it goes to Chris.

      Why peel at all. Most of nutrients is in peelings.

    This potato salad is the BEST! I always make Olivye version since I grew up with it, and I do love it. But this version is sooo good I think it is my new favorite. The radishes and cucumbers make it taste refreshing! Thank you for another great recipe Natasha!

    Sounds awesome. I highly recommend you make a slurry of 2 Tbs of vinegar with 2 tsp Of sugar and add it to the potato salad at the end. This will substantially increase the wow factor. Trust me.

    I like to add the dressing to warm potatoes. It penetrates the potatoes and doesn’t sit on top of the potatoes.

    Great recipe thankyou! Made this last night for a dinner party. Radishes & celery are a great addition. I used red potatoes & equal amounts of sour cream & mayo. I made my mayo which has Dijon mustard so didn’t add mustard to dressing. Delish. Will definitely be making this again

    Dear Natasha, this is the best potato salad. I had to try it right away so improvised using 4 large red potatoes, cooked with your wonderful instructions. Made half amount of dressing with mayo and 1 T heavy cream with 1 tsp lemon juice. Yellow mustard and salt. Omitted veggies and sprinkled smoked paprika over the top. Delicious but will make again using all the ingredients. A huge thank you.

    I’ve never made potato salad with radishes or cucumbers. I do always add olives. I love the saltiness. When making the dressing it’s also good to add either vinegar or pickle juice. I always have dill pickles too.

    I recommend making 1 1/2 times the dressing while potatoes are cooking. Allow potatoes to cool slightly, only until they can be handled, cubing as you go. Pour dressing over warm potatoes so the flavor can be absorbed in, then I mix in remaining ingredients & chill well. Then your only problem is to stop eating!

    Bonjour Natasha,

    Merci pour vos belles et délicieuses recettes. J’aime beaucoup votre blogue.
