Ingredients

  • 4 pounds red skin potatoes unpeeled
  • 4 hard boiled eggs
  • 1 small red onion
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar or red wine vinegar or white wine vinegar
  • 2 teaspoon fresh dill
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black Pepper
  • 3 tablespoons crispy bacon bits

Instructions

  • Wash the red potatoes and cut them into small cubes about 1 inch. Place potatoes in a large pot and cover them with water. Add a pinch of salt to the water and bring it to a boil. Cook the potatoes until they are tender, but still firm, about 10-15 minutes. Drain potatoes and rinse under cold water, reserve at room temperature.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, boil the eggs until they are hard-boiled. Once cooked, let them cool and then peel them. Chop them into small pieces.
  • Finely chop the red onion and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the mayo, heavy cream, rice vinegar, salt, and black pepper.
  • In a large bowl, combine the cooked potatoes, eggs, red onion, bacon and dill.
  • Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and stir until everything is coated.
  • Chill the potato salad in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving

Notes

If you have leftover salad, you can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Be sure to stir it well before serving to redistribute the dressing.
