Creating this dish is as joyful as tasting it. Follow these steps to bring Steakhouse potato salad to life:

1. Start by boiling the potatoes in a large pot of salted water over medium-high heat. Cook until they are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
2. Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly. This is the perfect opportunity to take a moment and appreciate the simplicity of transforming raw ingredients into a delicious dish.
3. In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and well-blended.
4. Add the cooled potatoes to the dressing mixture and gently fold until each piece is coated with creamy goodness.
5. Incorporate the crumbled bacon, chopped red onion, and parsley, mixing gently to combine.
6. Top the salad with chopped hard-boiled eggs, offering a final touch of texture and flavor.
7. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld beautifully.

As my abuela would say, “Patience in the kitchen brings joy to the table.” Allowing the salad to chill not only enhances the flavors but also gives you time to set the scene for a delightful meal.
