Cook the potatoes until they are just tender: You don't want them to be overcooked, or they will fall apart.
Let the potatoes cool completely before adding the other ingredients: This will help prevent the salad from becoming watery.
Use a variety of vegetables: This will add color, flavor, and texture to the salad.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different dressings: There are many different ways to dress a potato salad, so find one that you like.
Serve the potato salad chilled: This will help the flavors meld together.
