Instructions
- Cook potatoes: Peel, wash, and cut the potatoes into chunks. In the meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add salt and potatoes. Cook until soft but not falling apart, about 13-15 minutes, depending on size. Check with a fork.
- Drain well and stir in the balsamic vinegar. Let cool before adding the dressing.
- Prepare onions and herbs: Cut the spring onions into fine rings, red ones into fine cubes, and chop the parsley finely. Don’t chop the basil yet; only chop and add it to the spring onion potato salad before serving.
- Dressing: Mix sour cream, yogurt, mayo, milk, mustard, salt, pepper, sugar, and white balsamic vinegar in a small bowl.
- Combine: Place the cooled potatoes into a large bowl. Add dressing, spring onions, red onion, and parsley. Stir well to combine.
- Adjust the taste with more salt, pepper, and balsamic vinegar. Add the chopped basil before serving.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. Bring to room temperature for about 20-30 minutes before serving, stir well, adjust the seasoning again and add the basil.

All-purpose potatoes: Yukon gold, round or long white potatoes, Purple Majesty.
If using table salt, start with less and add more to taste; table salt is more potent.
