Tips:

  • Use a variety of potatoes: Using different types of potatoes, such as Yukon Gold, red potatoes, and fingerlings, can add different textures and flavors to your potato salad.
  • Cook the potatoes properly: Boiling the potatoes until they are tender but still hold their shape is essential. Overcooking will make them mushy.
  • Let the potatoes cool completely: Before adding the dressing, let the potatoes cool completely. This will help to prevent the dressing from becoming watery.
  • Use a good quality mayonnaise: The mayonnaise is one of the main ingredients in potato salad, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a mayonnaise made with fresh eggs and oil.
  • Add your favorite mix-ins: There are endless possibilities when it comes to mix-ins for potato salad. Some popular options include hard-boiled eggs, celery, onion, and pickles. You can also add bacon, cheese, or herbs.
  • Don't overdress the salad: It is important to use just enough dressing to coat the potatoes. Overdressing will make the salad soggy.
