Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh buttermilk. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- Choose waxy potatoes for potato salad, such as Yukon Gold, Red Bliss, or New Potatoes. These potatoes hold their shape well and won't get mushy when cooked.
- Be sure to cook the potatoes until they are tender but not overcooked. Overcooked potatoes will fall apart when you mix them with the other ingredients.
- Let the potatoes cool slightly before mixing them with the other ingredients. This will help prevent the potato salad from becoming too runny.
- Add your favorite vegetables and herbs to the potato salad, such as celery, onion, carrots, dill, or parsley.
- Season the potato salad to taste with salt, pepper, and mayonnaise. You can also add a little mustard or vinegar for a tangy flavor.
- Serve the potato salad chilled or at room temperature.

Buttermilk potato salad is a classic summer dish that is perfect for potlucks, picnics, and BBQs. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make the best buttermilk potato salad that everyone will love.
