Pro Tips for Success:

• Choose the Right Potatoes: Yukon Gold or red potatoes work best for this salad because they hold their shape well and have a creamy texture. Avoid starchy potatoes like Russets.

• Make it Your Own: Add a sprinkle of crispy bacon, fresh herbs like dill, or a dash of hot sauce for extra flavor and flair!

• Boil Potatoes Gently: When boiling your potatoes, make sure to cook them over medium heat. This helps them cook evenly and prevents them from getting too mushy.

• Customize the Dressing: If you’re looking for a lighter option, swap out half of the mayonnaise for Greek yogurt for a tangy twist and extra creaminess!

In just 15 minutes of prep and a little chill time, you can serve up this delicious and easy potato salad that’s perfect for any celebration.

Whether it’s for Independence Day BBQs or summer get-togethers, this recipe will become your go-to side dish!
