Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 2 pounds russet or Yukon gold potatoes
Buffalo Sauce
- 1/2 cup Buffalo sauce
Mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
Celery
- 1 cup chopped celery
Green Onions
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions
Cheddar Cheese
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Sour Cream
- 1/2 cup sour cream
Hard-Boiled Eggs
- 4 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
Salt and Pepper

Instructions
- Boil the Potatoes: Start by washing and peeling your potatoes. Cut them into bite-sized cubes and place them in a large pot of salted water. Boil until fork-tender, usually about 10-15 minutes. Drain and let them cool.
- Prepare the Dressing: In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, and Buffalo sauce. Whisk them together until smooth and creamy, adjusting the amount of Buffalo sauce to your preferred level of spice.
- Combine Ingredients: Once your potatoes have cooled, add them to the dressing mixture. Then, gently fold in chopped celery, green onions, shredded cheddar, and hard-boiled eggs until everything is well coated.
- Season and Chill: Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Notes
- Cook Potatoes Evenly: Cut potatoes into uniform sizes to ensure they cook evenly and are tender.
- Cool Before Mixing: Make sure the potatoes are completely cool before mixing to prevent the dressing from becoming runny.
- Extra Flavor Boost: If you have time, let the salad sit in the fridge overnight for a deeper flavor infusion.
- Garnish with Fresh Herbs: Adding some fresh herbs just before serving can enhance presentation and flavor!
- Use High-Quality Ingredients: Opt for fresh produce and the best-quality Buffalo sauce for maximum flavor.
