Creamy Herbed Potatoes

I can eat potatoes any way which way they are prepared. And there are so many ways. This one is creamy and fresh. It makes a wonderful side dish and is a combination of different recipes that I have collected from all over. I do have other potato salad recipes, but this one is the easiest one to prepare..

Although it uses sour cream, you can substitute it for low-fat mayo. The taste will change considerably, but it will still be great. If you use mayo, add the juice of half of a lemon to make it tangier.

Using the red potatoes not only makes it visually pleasing, but because they are lower in starch they will hold their shape when tossed. I sometimes use fingerling potatoes in different colors, and those come out great also. You can find those at Trader Joes.

Although the fresh herbs listed in the recipe is what I like; so I end up using all of them; you can choose which ones to use, or adjust how much you would like to use according to what you like.
