Tips:

  • For the best potato salad, use waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss. They hold their shape well when cooked and won't get mushy in the salad.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are tender, but not too soft. You should be able to easily pierce them with a fork, but they should not fall apart.
  • Cool the potatoes completely before adding them to the salad. This will help prevent the salad from becoming watery.
  • Use a light hand when mixing the salad. Overmixing will cause the potatoes to break down and become mushy.
  • Taste the salad and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs to taste.
  • Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later. Potato salad is best when served within a few hours of making it.
