Potato salad is a classic dish that is perfect for any occasion. Whether it’s a family barbecue, a potluck, or a picnic with friends, potato salad is always a crowd-pleaser. In this recipe, we’ll show you how to make a simple yet delicious potato salad that will have everyone asking for seconds.
Potato Salad
The key to making potato salad is to use starchy potatoes and let them get really soft, so they are partially mashed once mixed. We like to use Yukon Gold or Red Potatoes, or a mix of both. You can also use Russet potatoes if you like. Do not use new potatoes, because they hold their shape too well and will leave the dressing too liquidy.

Finish the Salad
