Notes
- SERVING:
- STORAGE:
- The basic recipe makes 6 portions as a side dish.
- Let the potato salad sit in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving.
- SERVING: Potato salad is a typical side dish in Czech cuisine, usually served alongside fried breaded meat. Garnish the salad on the plate with a sprig of green parsley as a final touch.
- STORAGE: Store the potato salad covered in the refrigerator and consume it within three days. Do not freeze the salad, as the low temperatures will change its texture and make it mushy when thawed.
