Carolina Potato Salad
Ingredients
  • 2 pounds red potatoes
  • 3 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 (4 ounce) jar chopped pimento peppers
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 2 slices cooked bacon, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon celery seed
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 pinch paprika, or as desired
Instructions
1
Begin by submerging potatoes into a substantial container and covering them with salted water; initiate the boiling process. Lower the heat to a moderate level and continue to simmer until the potatoes reach your desired tenderness, approximately 20-25 minutes.
2
Drain the water from the container and allow the potatoes to cool down before chopping them into 1-inch cubes.
3
In a separate, large bowl, combine the chopped potatoes with eggs to create a harmonious mixture.
4
In another container, mix together sour cream, mayonnaise, pimento peppers, green onions, crispy bacon, mustard, sugar, vinegar, salt, black pepper, celery seed, and garlic powder to create a rich dressing.
5
Pour the prepared dressing over the potato mixture in the bowl, gently tossing everything together to ensure an even coating.
6
Finally, sprinkle a pinch of paprika over the potato salad to add an extra layer of flavor.
