This is our family’s favorite potato salad recipe! Use small yellow, white, or red potatoes and cook them whole for the absolute best texture (though if your potatoes are on the larger side, you can simply chop them). For a more herby version, check out our creamy red potato salad, or, for a vinaigrette-style side without mayo, we highly recommend our lemon herb potato salad.
