EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

For a slightly sweet potato salad, add 1/3 to 1/2 cup sweet pickle relish in step 2.

Trim fat grams by using fat-free mayonnaise and just 2 eggs.

Round red and white potatoes are waxy and work best for potato salad because the pieces stay firm when fully cooked. Baking potatoes, which are starchy, tend to break apart and become mushy in salads.

I use the vinegar from my pickle jar. I also add one or two spears of pickle. The final part is to add two Roma tomatoes (chopped and seeded). This gives it more color and a little extra flavor.

This is the best recipe for potato salad. I used mayo instead of salad dressing, and I also included the white vinegar. Since I am not fond of onion, I used less and chopped it very fine. I also used five hard boiled eggs. It is well worth the effort. No store bought potato salad tastes this good.
