Cooking Tips

• Use new potatoes for this recipe as they have a creamy texture and hold their shape well.
• Make sure to cook the potatoes until they are just tender. Overcooking can result in mushy potato salad.
• For extra flavor, you can add chopped pickles, hard-boiled eggs, or fresh herbs like dill or parsley to the salad.
• If you prefer a tangier dressing, you can add more vinegar or lemon juice to the dressing.
• To make the potato salad ahead of time, prepare the ingredients and dressing separately. Combine them just before serving.

Storage and Serving

• Store the potato salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Serve the potato salad chilled as a side dish with grilled meats or as a main course for a light lunch.
• Garnish with additional chopped green onions or crispy bacon before serving for added flavor and presentation.
