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.

This is one of our new favorite potato salads! Don't be put off by the anchovy paste - adds depth as it always does. We prefer to leave out the eggs. I also always cook my potatoes in water with some vinegar added - keeps the potatoes white.

We just made my first bowl of potato salad. Delicious!!!!!!! We didn't put the vinegar and added 2 more eggs. Also added bacon and pickles. Can never go wrong with bacon and pickles.
