Potato Salad Tips

-- Aspiring Chef Rita

"I keep it in the fridge overnight to let the flavors mesh together."
-- Julie1271

"To save time you can cook potatoes and eggs together, for the 15 to 20 min. it works out well." -- Nancy T.

"I used Yukon Gold potatoes for their buttery, creamy texture." -- Valerie's Kitchen

"Cool the potatoes before you cut them up or they will be mushy." -- LEAGUE

My family loves mine. Use white nugget potatoes, cook whole and slice in half. At least 6 hard boiled eggs (for small salad) Green onion chopped to taste. Either mayonaise or miracle whip. Salt & pepper and either fresh or dried dill. Sometimes I add a bit of yellow mustard. Added zest you can use some sour cream with the mayo. Shred a bit of carrot for color. Let chill.

I always mix the mayo with dill pickle juice. It adds a nice bit of tang to potato salad.

I soak my potatoes with onions in a brine overnite. Adds so much extra taste

Sometimes if my family has leftovers from a crawfish boil, they are added to the potato salad along with old bay or zattarain's seasoning, celery, pepper and onion. This is also good with shrimp, crab or other types of seafood.
