Recipe Tips
Cut the potatoes into equal slices so that they cook evenly.
Don’t cook the potatoes for too long so that they are still firm to the bite.
Leave the potatoes to cool well after cooking before mixing them with the dressing.
Serve the salad well chilled.
Can you prepare the salad?
Yes, you can prepare the salad the day before. Keep it in the fridge and serve it chilled the next day.
I find the potato salad particularly tasty the next day because it has had time to infuse 🙂
The salad will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
