   • Place the cubed potatoes in a pot of boiling water, ensuring they are fully submerged.
   • Boil the potatoes until they are soft but still retain their shape and texture. Be careful not to overcook; mushy potatoes won’t hold up well in the salad.

3. Cool Potatoes:

   • Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and allow them to cool completely.

4. Mix Ingredients:

   • In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients except for the mayonnaise. This includes the sour cream, mustard, pimiento, ground pepper, fresh parsley, vinegar, salt, and sugar.

5. Add Mayonnaise:

   • Gently fold in the mayonnaise as the final step in the mixing process. This helps to bind all the ingredients together and gives the salad its creamy texture.

6. Combine with Potatoes:

   • Once the dressing is thoroughly mixed, pour it over the cooled potatoes.
   • Lightly toss the potatoes with the dressing until they are evenly coated.

7. Chill and Serve:

   • Cover the potato salad and refrigerate it for at least an hour before serving. Chilling allows the flavors to meld together and enhances the overall taste.
   • Serve chilled and enjoy Grandma’s famous potato salad at your next gathering or BBQ!

Tips:

• Choose the Right Potatoes: Opt for starchy potatoes like russets or Yukon Golds, as they hold their shape well when cooked and absorb flavors beautifully.
• Don’t Overcook: Boil the potatoes just until they are tender. Overcooking will result in a mushy texture, which is not ideal for potato salad.
• Adjust Seasonings to Taste: Feel free to adjust the seasonings according to your preference. Add more salt, pepper, or herbs to suit your taste buds.
• Make Ahead: This potato salad can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before serving. Just give it a good stir before serving to redistribute the dressing.
• Customize: Get creative with additional mix-ins like chopped hard-boiled eggs, diced celery, or crispy bacon for extra flavor and texture.

Enjoy this timeless classic that’s sure to become a staple at your gatherings, thanks to Grandma’s secret recipe and a few modern twists!
