  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, hold their shape well in salads and won't become mushy.
  • Cook the potatoes properly: Boil the potatoes until they are tender but still firm, then drain and cool them completely before adding them to the salad.
  • Use a flavorful dressing: A good dressing can make or break a potato salad. Use a dressing that is flavorful and tangy, such as a vinaigrette or mayonnaise-based dressing.
  • Add plenty of mix-ins: Mix-ins are what make potato salad special. Add your favorite vegetables, herbs, and cheeses to create a salad that is both delicious and visually appealing.
  • Chill the salad before serving: Potato salad is best served chilled. This allows the flavors to meld and the salad to firm up.
