CHUNKY POTATO SALAD
My potato salad is often requested because it's chunky and not "mashed" potato salad. It is also downright yummy! The secret is to mix together the dressing part before adding it to the cut ingredients.

CHUNKY POTATO SALAD
This is the best potato salad I had in a long time. There were new baby potatoes at the supermarket called new potato gems. Little purple, red and white potatoes. I was curious to make potato salad with them and I was very pleased with the outcome. I love this!

Steps:
- Clean, chop in half & boil the potatoes. Boil with eggs. Take out eggs 7 minutes after and peel then cool.
- Dice up the apple, carrot, red/yellow/orange peppers and green onions. Once potatoes are done, place in a bowl of ice cold water to cool off.
- Whisk up the mayo, italian dressing and parmesan cheese. Mix all together and chill for 3 hours.
Tips:
- Use a variety of potatoes. This will give your potato salad a more complex flavor and texture. Yukon Gold, red potatoes, and fingerling potatoes are all good choices.
- Boil the potatoes until they are just tender. You don't want them to be too soft or they will fall apart when you mix them with the other ingredients.
- Let the potatoes cool completely before adding them to the salad. This will help prevent the salad from becoming watery.
- Use a light hand when mixing the salad. You don't want to mash the potatoes.
- Taste the salad and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or vinegar.
- Chill the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the salad to become more firm.
Conclusion:
Chunky potato salad is a classic summer side dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser.
