Red Potato Salad with Sour Cream and Chives

Yummy, super easy. I think it need maybe something with a bit more oomph but I can’t think of what. I do really like that it’s a recipe where you probably already have most of the ingredients in your kitchen already. Thanks for the recipe!

Followed the recipe to the letter. Always good to do so the first time one has A go at it. After, on the next try, go for broke. We used bacon bits, finally chopped green onions, minced garlic on our second go. Both turned out rather well. No complaints.

11.1.21 The yogurt-sour cream mixture holds up well in the fridge and doesn’t get runny. The only addition I made was some chopped onion, but I will add just a little mayo or Miracle Whip to the dressing in the future, I had some mini potatoes that needed to be used, just cooked, cut in half, which gave me perfect bite-size pieces. The is a very simple, clean tasting potato salad that we enjoyed. We have potato salads quite often, and this will be a nice addition to my collection.

Made this for my moms 80th Birthday party, everyone is asking for the recipe! They loved it! I did add bacon, green onion, shredded cheddar & miracle whip instead of yogurt. Salt & pepper to taste.

I had a similar recipe years ago and was pleased to find this here. About the only thing I did differently was add salt to the cooking water and then toss the potatoes in a bit of vinegar after boiling them. I do this with any potatoes for cold dishes—it cuts the need for added salt in the finished product.

I liked this, but I found it a little bland as is, so I added some bits of bacon and shredded sharp cheddar cheese, and it was perfect. Thanks for the recipe!

I love potato salad, especially with red potatoes, but I hate mayonnaise, so I wanted to try making one without the mayo. This recipe worked great, using a 1:1 sour cream to plain yogurt ratio. I used plain Greek yogurt, since that is what I had on hand, so I added a little milk to thin out the mixture a tad. I also used green onions instead of chives because I had them. For flavoring, I used ranch seasoning and a little salt and pepper. If I’d had bacon, I would have added that as well. This is really good potato salad.

I actually like this better then real potato salad & it’s healthier. The only thing that I changed was I used green onions instead of chives. Love it.

I found this to be pretty tasteless. After adding some dill and a squirt of mustard, it was better, but it’s still not my favorite thing. Edit: I had to up my rating from three to four stars because my husband said he really liked this exactly as the recipe was written. I guess it is a matter of taste.

This is a summer “must make” and a favorite in our house. It is simple, wonderful with fresh fixin’s from the garden (or the store,) and a compliment to any meal. We have made this recipe as is and loved it, but also found it is great with extras added, like bacon, chopped peppers, even the snappy crunch of chopped radishes. A real keeper.

Great, fresh tasting potato salad for people who aren’t wild about mayonnaise.

Excellent basic recipe, which also leaves a lot of room to add and/or delete different spices, herbs, etc. to punch it up. I followed it as written and was fine with the result. However, for a little more flavor I added some capers to taste. You can also replace the chives with fresh dill, and even throw in a shot of brandy. Sounds weird but it gives it a nice little aftertaste.

Made this to go with buffalo wings. Excellent, and a good way to cool the pallet.

Made this and brought it to a party and got rave reviews! Had to send the recipe to lots of my friends afterwards. It was so easy to make. I added a few spices (but still kept it low fat): 1 Tablespoon of red wine vinegar, 2 chopped up hard boiled eggs, 2 chopped stalks of celery, shake of celery salt, onion powder, salt & pepper. I might even add some dijon mustard next time. Loved not having mayonnaise in it!! So much healthier with the yogurt. This is a keeper!

I used leftover boiled red potatoes, it turned out great.

I think this is a good, basic recipe. Some tips for those looking to add flavor: salt the cooking water for your potatoes. Like salting pasta water, it can give the potatoes some seasoning. I used fat free plain greek yogurt and full fat sour cream for the dressing. I also added the juice of half a lemon (1 tbsp) to the dressing to add some brightness and to loosen it up–my mix had the consistency of a dip before I added the juice. I also looked at the other reviews and added some fresh dill and 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (although I think regular would work as well). It made a very good, light, and flavorful vegetarian side dish. I might add in more mustard and some homemade bacon bits the next time I make it and eat it as a cool summer main dish.

I didn’t use the yogart, but I added Deli style Mustard , Boars Head which has white wine in it apx 1 tbl spoon. Also Bacon bits added when serving to keep crunchy. Was Great!

Needs more salt and herbs. Definitely better after it sits overnight.

We didn’t have the full amount of chives, but it was still tasty the yogurt gives a nice tang. We used a seasoned salt and a little parsley too. I think anything that tastes good on a baked potato would taste good added to this salad. Especially good salad for those that don’t like mayo.
