Tips:

  • Use Yukon gold potatoes: These potatoes have a thin skin and creamy texture that holds up well in potato salad.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are tender, but not mushy: You want the potatoes to be able to hold their shape when you toss them with the dressing.
  • Let the potatoes cool completely before adding the dressing: This will help to prevent the potato salad from becoming watery.
  • Use a homemade dressing: A homemade dressing will give your potato salad more flavor than a store-bought dressing.
  • Add your favorite mix-ins: You can add a variety of mix-ins to your potato salad, such as bacon, cheese, hard-boiled eggs, or vegetables.
  • Chill the potato salad for at least 30 minutes before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld together.
