  3. Once the potatoes are cool, chop them into bite-sized pieces and add them to the dressing.
  4. Gently stir to combine until the potatoes are well coated.
  5. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

To keep your Sour Cream and Onion Potato Salad fresh, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 3-4 days. Give it a gentle stir before serving again, as the ingredients might separate slightly. For added flavor, consider using fresh herbs like dill or parsley. If you prefer a bit of crunch, add some diced celery or bell peppers. Make sure to let the salad chill for at least 30 minutes; this helps the flavors blend beautifully. Variations include adding bacon for a smoky flavor or using Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a lighter option.
