Tips:

  • Use waxy potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, hold their shape better when boiled, making them ideal for potato salad.
  • Boil potatoes until tender: Overcooked potatoes will become mushy, so be careful not to overcook them. Check for doneness by inserting a fork into the center of a potato. If it slides in and out easily, the potato is done.
  • Cool potatoes before assembling salad: This will help to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
  • Use a light hand when mixing the salad: Over-mixing will break up the potatoes and make the salad mushy.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste: Start with a small amount and add more to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika, to taste.
  • Chill salad before serving: This will help to develop the flavors and make the salad more refreshing.
