Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your potato salad. Choose waxy potatoes that will hold their shape well, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss potatoes. Use real mayonnaise, not salad dressing, and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes: Overcooked potatoes will be mushy and unpleasant. Cook them just until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Let the potatoes cool before dressing them: This will help to prevent the potato salad from becoming watery.
  • Use a light hand with the dressing: You don't want the potato salad to be too heavy or greasy. Add the dressing gradually, until the potatoes are evenly coated.
  • Chill the potato salad before serving: This will help to develop the flavors and make the salad more refreshing.
  • Garnish the potato salad with fresh herbs or vegetables: This will add a pop of color and flavor.
