Notes
To make this potato salad in advance, simply prepare through step 2, cover and refrigerate up to two days ahead. Continue with step three as directed.
Look for potatoes that are smooth skinned, firm to the touch and do not have any sprouting “eyes.” For potato salad use waxy potatoes like red, yellow, white or purple instead of russet (baking) potatoes for the best finished texture.
