This recipe began with leftover fried potatoes I had on hand. We liked it so much that now I fry potatoes just to make this unique potato salad. Sometimes I add grated sharp cheddar for a cheesy twist. -Leann Stallard, Dryden, Virginia

  • Boil the potatoes properly: To prevent the potatoes from becoming mushy, add them to a pot of cold water and bring to a boil. Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the potatoes are tender but still firm.
  • Cool the potatoes quickly: Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and immediately place them in a bowl of cold water. This will help to stop the cooking process and prevent the potatoes from becoming overcooked.
  • Use a variety of ingredients: Potato salad is a versatile dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients. Some popular add-ins include celery, onion, hard-boiled eggs, bacon, and cheese.
  • Dress the salad to taste: The dressing is what really makes potato salad shine. Use a combination of mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, and seasonings to create a dressing that is tangy, creamy, and flavorful.
