Notes

Potato Salad Tips
  • Watch your potatoes closely. You do not want to under cook them or your potato salad will be hard. If you boil them too long, your salad will be mushy.
  • Don't skimp on the salt. This is your main seasoning and is 100% necessary.
  • Add more relish or sugar if you prefer a sweeter potato salad.
  • Allow the flavors to meld and let the potato salad sit in the fridge for at least an hour before serving for the best flavor.
