HELLMANN'S THE ORIGINAL POTATO SALAD
A longtime favorite of my family. We don't have an outdoor summer gathering without this and Hellmann's Classic Pasta Salad. Can't go wrong with these delicious recipes. FYI: because of the mayo content, we put the bowl of salad into a slightly larger-sized bowl filled halfway with ice to keep the salads cold and fresh.

Tips:
- For the best potato salad, use waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Red potatoes. They hold their shape better than starchy potatoes, like Russets, when boiled.
- Boil the potatoes until they are just tender, but not mushy. You should be able to pierce them easily with a fork, but they should not fall apart.
- Immediately drain the potatoes and rinse them with cold water. This will stop the cooking process and prevent the potatoes from becoming overcooked.
- Allow the potatoes to cool completely before adding them to the salad. This will help prevent the salad from becoming watery.
- Use a light hand when mixing the potato salad. Over-mixing will result in a mushy salad.
- Serve the potato salad immediately after making it, or chill it for later. Potato salad is best eaten within a few days.
