Prepare Potatoes:

- Place the potato cubes in a pot of water and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.

Mix Ingredients:
- While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the other ingredients.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, mustard, ground pepper, finely chopped fresh parsley, vinegar, and sugar. Mix them well until they are evenly incorporated.

Incorporate Mayo:
- Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and let them cool slightly.
- In a separate large mixing bowl, add the cooled potato cubes.
- Gently fold in the prepared mixture of sour cream, mustard, pepper, parsley, vinegar, and sugar.
- Add the mayonnaise to the bowl and gently toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated with the creamy dressing.

Chill and Serve:
- After mixing, cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the potato salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Before serving, give the potato salad a final toss to ensure everything is well combined.
- Serve chilled and enjoy Grandma’s Famous Potato Salad with your favorite main dishes or as a standalone treat!
Tips:
- For added flavor, consider adding diced celery, onions, or hard-boiled eggs to the potato salad.
