  • Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with water.
  • Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce to a simmer, and cook until fork tender, about 15 minutes.

Notes

  • This makes a large portion of salad that is great for feeding a crowd. You can halve the recipe for smaller groups or small family dinners.
  • Store potato salad in an airtight container or covered in plastic wrap in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • This can be served with warm potatoes and kept at room temperature for an hour or so.
  • If the creamy dressing starts to bind, add 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar or olive oil to the mix.
