  • Boil the potatoes until they are just tender: Overcooked potatoes will become mushy.
  • Cool the potatoes completely before dressing them: This will help prevent the potato salad from becoming watery.
  • Use a light hand with the dressing: You don't want to overwhelm the potatoes with too much dressing.
  • Add your favorite mix-ins: Diced celery, chopped hard-boiled eggs, and crumbled bacon are all popular additions to potato salad.
  • Serve the potato salad chilled: Potato salad is best served cold, so make it ahead of time and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
