Do not overcook the potatoes. They should be tender but still hold their shape.
Allow the potatoes to cool completely before assembling the salad. This will help to prevent them from breaking apart.
Use a light hand when dressing the salad. You want the potatoes to be coated in dressing, but not swimming in it.
Garnish the salad with fresh parsley or chives before serving.
