This very flexible salad is great with meats, on picnics, with all sorts of things. It is fine in the fridge for a few days. Vary the ingredients and seasonings to taste (and convenience). The finer the chopping, the more "gourmet" it is to Russians. The technique here is easy; it just takes a lot of chopping, so give yourself enough time.

Tips for Making the Best Russian Potato Salad
- Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold, Red Bliss, or New Potatoes, hold their shape well and won't get mushy when boiled.
- Boil the potatoes until they are tender but still firm: You should be able to easily pierce them with a fork, but they shouldn't fall apart.
- Cool the potatoes completely before dicing them: This will help prevent them from breaking up.
- Use a sharp knife to dice the potatoes: This will help ensure that they are evenly sized and will cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the onions: If you do, they will steam instead of fry and won't get as crispy.
- Use a light hand when mixing the salad: Over-mixing will break up the potatoes and make the salad mushy.
- Season the salad to taste: You may need to add more salt, pepper, or vinegar depending on your personal preferences.
- Serve the salad warm or cold: Russian potato salad can be served warm or cold, depending on your preference.

With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this salad is a great option for any cook, regardless of their skill level.
