TheresaFrequently Asked Questions: How do I keep my potato salad from drying out? As this cools the potatoes will continue to soak up the dressing. Its just what potatoes do, they like to soak up whatever they are mixed with. So, if you notice your salad is just a little dry when you are ready to serve, add a little more milk or chicken stock and some mayonnaise and it will restore the creaminess of your potato salad. Do I have to use mayonnaise? For a classic potato salad, mayonnaise is required. You could use Miracle Whip but I personally do not like the taste of Miracle Whip so I would never use it but if you love it, then dont let me stop you. Want a mayo-less potato salad? Be sure to check out my recipe for German Potato Salad Is it better to boil potatoes whole or cut up for potato salad? Its better to cut up potatoes before boiling them. They cook much faster when cut first. Also, you can leave the skin on the potatoes if you prefer. Do you have to put eggs in potato salad? Nope. You can leave them out if you prefer. How do you make potato salad taste better? Use chicken stock. It is my secret ingredient! Also, use fresh ingredients. Dont use store-bought hard-boiled eggs unless you are confident of the fresh taste. Sometimes store-bought hard boiled eggs have a funky taste to them and they can really throw off the taste of your whole salad. To make your own, check out my recipe for Homemade Chicken Broth. How so I store leftovers? Keep leftover salad stored in a covered container in the refrigerator for up 3 days. Because of the mayonnaise in the salad, try to keep it cool. Do not let it sit outside of the refrigerator for longer than 30 minutes and definitely do not let it sit uncovered outside in the sun. Keep it in a ice cooler until just before serving. Ingredients Needed: (See Recipe Card Below For The Full Recipe) Yukon gold potatoes I love the creaminess of Yukon Gold potatoes for potato salad but you could certainly use russet potatoes. mayonnaise for me, its got to be real mayonnaise (not Miracle Whip) I prefer Dukes or Hellmans.white vinegar you can use apple cider vinegar if that is all you have but it will add a slightly different taste to this. yellow mustard dont try to get fancy here with dijon mustard or try to use dried ground mustard, just good ole standard yellow mustard is the best. chicken stock I know this seems weird to use chicken stock but it just adds that little something that people wont quite be able to put their finger on but will know it makes this potato salad different from everyone elses but if you dont have chicken stock, you could use milk. You want a little extra liquid here to keep this dressing super creamy.celery and onion standard potato salad ingredients I just like to make sure they are diced up finely so no one is getting a huge bit of celery or onion. hard boiled eggs I know some people love it and some people hate it so go with what you prefer here but we personally love it!How To Make Potato Salad: Peel and dice potatoes into cubes.
