Bubba's Potato Salad
Bubba Durand


1 1/2 pounds baby yukon gold potatoes
2 stalks (1 cup sliced) celery, strings removed, thinly sliced
1/4 cup minced shallots
1/2 cup real mayo (I like Hellmann's)
1/4 cup sour cream
2 Tablespoons buttermilk
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped

Make the sauce: Mix together mayo, sour cream, buttermilk, celery, shallots, and salt.
Set aside while potatoes cook.

Scrub potatoes. Place into a pan with cold water to cover.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook until just tender.
Drain and refill pan with cold water.
Set aside until cool enough to handle, then drain.

Chop potatoes.
Fold potatoes and eggs into sauce.
Chill. Dude.
