Kitchen Tips
Plan Ahead
Prepare your potato salad the day before and refrigerate overnight. This allows potatoes to absorb more seasoning & dressing, boosting the overall flavor!
How Long to Boil Potatoes
After boiling, drain potatoes well and allow steam to escape before mixing to prevent salad from getting watery.
Rule of Thumb
Quarter potatoes, rinse and add to cold water and allow them to come up to temperature gently. For the best texture possible, bring the water to a simmer and cook gently.
