Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Red Bliss hold their shape best when boiled, making them ideal for picnic potatoes.
- Boil the potatoes until just tender: Overcooked potatoes will become mushy when tossed in the dressing.
- Make the dressing ahead of time: This allows the flavors to meld and develop.
- Use a variety of fresh herbs: Herbs like parsley, chives, and dill add a burst of flavor to the potatoes.
- Don't be afraid to experiment: You can add other ingredients to the dressing, such as crumbled bacon, chopped nuts, or grated cheese.
