Notes

  • I used red potatoes, but you can also use Russet potatoes. Either will work.
  • If you’d like to add chopped pickles, onion or celery add them when you stir the dressing into the potatoes.
  • To peel or not to peel the potatoes? It’s really up to you, but we prefer to peel the potatoes.
  • This is make ahead friendly! You can make it 2-3 days in advance. In fact, we recommend making it at least a few hours before you serve it to allow the flavors to really come together.
  • Leftovers? Store in refrigerator for up to 3-4 days in an airtight container.
  • Mix it up and stir in chopped and cooked bacon, minced dill and more!
  • Serving it at a party or potluck? Fill a bowl with ice then place the bowl of potato salad on top of it to keep it chilled. As the ice melts drain water and add more ice.
