Tips:

- Let the potatoes cool: Once the potatoes are cooked, let them cool slightly before handling them. This will help to prevent them from breaking apart.
- Add your favorite ingredients: Once the potatoes are cooled, you can add your favorite ingredients to make a delicious salad. Some popular options include celery, onion, red pepper, and bacon. You can also add a variety of dressings, such as mayonnaise, yogurt, or vinaigrette.
