Tara’s Tidbits®

Don’t overcook the potatoes. Boil just until you can pierce them with a fork.  Also, each batch of potatoes may absorb the mayo differently. If the potato salad looks dry after it has chilled just add more mayo.

 

This is actually my grandmother’s recipe.  She said there are two important things for good potato salad—don’t let the potatoes cool off and use good mayonnaise!
