Tips to make Steakhouse Potato Salad

Chill the potatoes: Cooling them first keeps the salad from being a mushy mess.

Vegan option: Use plant-based mayo and sour cream; you’ll hardly miss the dairy!

Variation

Feeling adventurous? Try adding sweet bell peppers for a pop of color and crunch or even a sprinkle of smoked paprika for a hint of smokiness! Swap out potatoes for cauliflower for a lighter take—who doesn’t love a healthy twist?
