Tips for the Best Potato Salad:

- If you have smaller potatoes, cook them whole. Start by adding your potatoes to the pan and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil and then lower heat and cook until potatoes are fork tender. Don’t overcook the potatoes or they will be mushy.

I love GOOD tater salad. This recipe sounds like it could be top shelf stuff. Many years ago I heard a rumor that in order to make great tater salad one has to make it with two different types of taters…and Red ones are one of them.It does make a difference. Try it Milisa .
Hi Ed,
That is interesting and I will definitely give that a try!
