Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Use a firm, waxy potato like Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, as they hold their shape well in potato salad.
  • Cook the potatoes properly: Boil the potatoes in salted water until they are tender but still slightly firm. Overcooked potatoes will become mushy.
  • Cool the potatoes completely: Before adding the dressing, allow the potatoes to cool completely. This will help prevent the salad from becoming watery.
  • Use a flavorful dressing: The dressing is what makes potato salad so delicious, so be sure to use a flavorful one. This recipe uses a mayonnaise-based dressing with Dijon mustard, celery, and onion.
  • Add your favorite mix-ins: Feel free to add your favorite mix-ins to the potato salad, such as cooked bacon, chopped hard-boiled eggs, or diced celery.

Conclusion:

Laura Bush's Southwestern Potato Salad is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion.
