Tips:

  • Use a variety of potatoes. This will give your salad a more interesting flavor and texture. For this recipe, a combination of red, yellow, and Yukon Gold potatoes is recommended.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are tender but still firm. You don't want them to be mushy. A good way to test if they are done is to insert a fork into the center of a potato. If it goes in easily, the potato is done.
  • Let the potatoes cool completely before assembling the salad. This will help to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
  • Use a light hand when dressing the salad. You don't want to overpower the other flavors in the salad.
  • Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later. It's good either way.
