Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Red potatoes hold their shape better and are less likely to fall apart when boiled.
  • Boil the potatoes until tender: Use a fork to check if the potatoes are done. They should be easily pierced, but not mushy.
  • Drain the potatoes well: This will help to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
  • Slice the potatoes thinly: This will help them to absorb the dressing better.
  • Use a light hand with the dressing: You don't want to overpower the potatoes with the dressing.
  • Let the salad chill: This will allow the flavors to meld and the salad to become more firm.
  • Serve the salad with your favorite toppings: Some popular options include bacon, hard-boiled eggs, and chives.
