Instructions

“Prepare the Dressing: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.”,
“Mix the Salad: Once the potatoes have cooled, add them to the dressing. Gently toss the potatoes until they are evenly coated with the dressing.”,

“Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Before serving, sprinkle with fresh chives and any remaining cheese or beef.
Notes
“Potato Choice: Waxier potatoes, such as Yukon gold or red potatoes, hold up better and won’t turn mushy when boiled.”,
“Customize Your Salad: Feel free to add extra ingredients like pickles, onions, or even a boiled egg for extra flavor.”,
“Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
