Tips:
- Use a variety of potatoes: This will give your salad a more complex flavor and texture. Red potatoes, Yukon Gold potatoes, and fingerling potatoes are all good choices.

- Let the potatoes cool completely before adding them to the salad: This will help to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
- Use a mayonnaise-based dressing: This is the classic dressing for potato salad, and it's always a winner. However, you can also use a vinaigrette dressing or a yogurt-based dressing if you prefer.
- Add some chopped hard-boiled eggs, dill pickles, and tarragon to the salad: These ingredients will add flavor, texture, and color to your salad.
- Season the salad to taste with salt and pepper: You may also want to add a little bit of garlic powder or onion powder for extra flavor.
