Tips for Success

Select small, bite-sized baby potatoes. If you use larger potatoes, cut them into bite-sized cubes before you roast them.

Add just a portion of the dressing to the salad initially. After you toss it with the dressing, taste it and add additional dressing if needed.

If you store the potato salad for a few hours, the potatoes will absorb some of the dressing and you may want to add more before serving it.

Store the potato salad in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. Keep it in an airtight container.

You can serve the salad cold or warm.
