Tips

For a creamier potato salad, use Yukon Gold or Red potatoes, as they have a higher starch content that helps the dressing cling to the potatoes.
If you're short on time, you can use pre-cooked potatoes. Just be sure to let them cool completely before adding them to the salad.
To make the salad ahead of time, boil the potatoes and prepare the dressing up to two days in advance. Then, combine the potatoes and dressing just before serving.
Serve the potato salad chilled or at room temperature. If you're serving it chilled, let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving so that the flavors can meld.
Garnish the potato salad with fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, or dill, for a pop of color and flavor.
