Quick Tips

Potato Salad

• If your potato salad always looks like a bowl of mayo-coated mush, you are probably using the wrong potatoes. Use the red skinned kind instead. Red potatoes have less starch, which means they will not mash in the salad like high-starch russets, Idahos, or Brooklyn's.
• If you can't or don't wish to use red potatoes, Idaho white potatoes also make a good potato salad potato.
• No matter what potato type you use, do NOT peel the potatoes before you boil them. Boil for about 20 minutes or until a knife sticks into them easily.
