Name: Creamy Red Potato Salad
Ingredients: 3 Lbs red potatoes; ½ Cup sour cream; ½ Cup mayonnaise; Zest of 1 lemon; 2 TBSP white vinegar; 1 tsp table salt; ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper; ⅔ Cup sliced scallions

Replacing some of the mayonnaise with sour cream in this potato salad lends a slightly tangy taste and feels lighter than the traditional versions. I like to use red potatoes because the color of the skin makes the prettiest salad. Make the entire salad ahead of time and chill until serving.
