  • Use a variety of potatoes: For the best flavor and texture, use a combination of waxy and starchy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold, red potatoes, and russet potatoes.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are tender but still hold their shape: You don't want the potatoes to be too soft or they will fall apart when you mix them with the other ingredients.
  • Allow the potatoes to cool slightly before adding the other ingredients: This will help prevent the mayonnaise from curdling.
  • Use a light hand when mixing the potato salad: You don't want to overmix it or the potatoes will become mashed.
  • Season the potato salad to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste, until the potato salad is flavorful and balanced.
  • Serve the potato salad chilled: This will help the flavors meld together and make the salad more refreshing.
