I make this salad for all occasions-it goes well with any kind of meat. I often take this salad to potlucks, and there's never any left over. The celery, carrots and dry mustard are a special touch not usually found in traditional German potato salad. -Betty Perkins, Hot Springs, Arkansas

Tips:

Use a variety of potatoes: Combining different types of potatoes, such as Yukon Gold, red potatoes, and fingerlings, adds flavor and texture to the salad.
Boil potatoes with the skin on: This helps retain the nutrients and flavor of the potatoes.
Cool potatoes before mixing: Warm potatoes will absorb more dressing, making the salad mushy.
Use a light hand with the dressing: You can always add more dressing, but it's difficult to remove it once it's been added.
Add mix-ins last: Stir in herbs, vegetables, and other mix-ins just before serving to prevent them from wilting.
