Potato salad is a staple dish at summer gatherings, but why not give it a tropical upgrade with the addition of creamy avocados? This recipe combines the classic flavors of potato salad with the bright freshness of avocados, creating a vibrant and flavorful dish.

Ingredients:

* 1 pound potatoes, peeled and cubed
* 1/2 cup mayonnaise
* 1/4 cup sour cream
* 1/4 cup chopped celery
* 1/4 cup chopped red onion
* 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
* 2 ripe avocados, peeled and sliced

Instructions:

1. Boil the potatoes: Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly.
2. Combine the salad dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, celery, red onion, parsley, salt, and pepper.
3. Assemble the salad: Add the cooled potatoes to the dressing and stir to combine. Fold in the sliced avocados.
4. Chill: Refrigerate the potato salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Tips:

* Use waxy potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, hold their shape better than starchy potatoes and create a firmer salad.
* Chop the avocados evenly: Slicing the avocados into thin, uniform pieces will help them distribute evenly throughout the salad.
* Add other vegetables: If desired, add additional vegetables to the salad, such as chopped carrots, cucumbers, or bell peppers.
* Garnish with herbs: Sprinkle fresh parsley or chives over the salad before serving for an extra layer of freshness.

Variations:

* Spicy: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of Sriracha to the dressing for a spicy kick.
* Creamy: For a richer flavor, add an extra dollop of mayonnaise or sour cream.
* Tangy: Stir in a tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to brighten the salad.
* Smokey: Add a teaspoon of smoked paprika to the dressing for a hint of smokiness.
