Tips:

  • Use a variety of potatoes for different textures and flavors. Waxy potatoes like Red Bliss or new potatoes hold their shape well, while starchy potatoes like Russets or Yukon Golds break down more and create a creamier salad.
  • Cook the potatoes in salted water to infuse them with flavor. You can also add herbs, garlic, or other seasonings to the cooking water for extra flavor.
  • 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 dressing the salad. You don't want to overpower the flavor of the potatoes.
  • Add-ins are a great way to customize your potato salad. Try adding hard-boiled eggs, bacon, celery, onion, pickles, or cheese.
  • Serve the potato salad immediately or chill it for later. It will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
