Instructions

Preheat and prepare potatoes: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Roast the potatoes: Spread the coated potatoes out on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping them once halfway through the cooking time, until the potatoes are golden brown and crisp at the edges.
Make the dressing: While the potatoes roast, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar in a large bowl until the dressing is smooth and well combined.
Combine salad ingredients: Let the roasted potatoes cool slightly before adding them to the dressing. Add chopped celery, red onion, and fresh parsley, then gently toss everything together to evenly coat the potatoes with the dressing.
Add eggs and chill: Fold in the chopped hard-boiled eggs if using. Cover the salad and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.

Notes

You can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream to make a tangier and lighter dressing.
Roasting the potatoes instead of boiling adds extra flavor and creates a pleasing crisp texture.
