Essentials

Although I’ve included some suggestions in the tips section below, feel free to be creative and add your own favorite mix-ins. These are the fundamentals of a fantastic potato salad. Fear not about remembering quantities; the recipe card at the end of this page has the precise measurements.

The basis of the salad, Yukon Gold potatoes provide mouthwatering starchy bits. Also works very well are baby gold potatoes!
Chopped eggs give the salad body and protein.
Mayonnaise: This smooth, creamy condiment gives everything a cohesive feel. If mayo isn’t to your taste, sour cream or plain Greek yogurt may be used in place.
Taste depth and a pleasant small bite are added by yellow mustard. An alternate choice, while it would somewhat alter the flavor, is dijon mustard.
An acidic accent to counterbalance the mayo and egg richness is apple cider vinegar.
Adds really tasty bursts of sweet and sour taste!
Chopped for a hint of freshness and light onion taste is the green onion.
Paprika: A warm, smokey dusting.
Because dill gives potato salad a vibrant, fresh taste, it is my favorite herb to use. When available, fresh dill is ideal.
Basic seasonings that bring forth every other taste are salt and pepper! Fine-tune to your liking.
