My family’s favorite potato salad recipe! Use small yellow, white, or red potatoes and cook them whole for the best texture. If your potatoes are on the larger side, you can chop them. If you have the time, store the salad in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or so before serving. This extra time helps the flavors mingle and makes for a better potato salad. For an herby version of this salad, see our creamy red potato salad or for a vinaigrette-style salad without mayo, I highly recommend our lemon herb potato salad.
