  • Use waxy potatoes like red or Yukon gold potatoes for best results.
  • Don’t overcook the potatoes – they should be tender but still hold their shape.
  • Let the potato salad chill in the fridge for at least an hour before serving to let the flavors meld together.
  • For a creamier texture, use more mayonnaise or sour cream in the dressing. For a tangier flavor, add more vinegar or lemon juice.
  • Be sure to season the salad with enough salt and pepper to enhance the flavors.
