Notes

  • WHAT ARE THE BEST POTATOES FOR POTATO SALAD?
  • This potato salad is usually made with baby red potatoes. They are a waxy type of potato that hold their shape well have they’ve been cooked.
  • IS POTATO SALAD SUPPOSED TO BE COLD?
  • It depends! Mayonnaise-based salads definitely need to be chilled and kept cold so the mayonnaise doesn’t go bad sitting out. But mustard-based potato salads can be served warm or at room temperature.
  • HOW LONG DO THE LEFTOVERS KEEP?
  • The leftovers will keep for three to four days in the refrigerator. Just be sure to keep them in an airtight container.
