Potato Salad Recipe FAQs

Which potatoes are best for potato salad?

Waxy potatoes are essential. Varieties like New Potatoes, Charlotte, or any small salad potato work best as they hold their shape and have a firm, creamy texture.

Why is my potato salad watery?

This is usually caused by one of two things: you've used a floury potato (like a Maris Piper), which breaks down, or you've overcooked your waxy potatoes.

Can I make potato salad without mayonnaise?

Absolutely. A delicious alternative is a 'German-style' dressing made from olive oil, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, and herbs. You can also make a lighter creamy dressing using Greek yoghurt.

Should I dress potato salad when it's warm or cold?

It depends on the dressing! For a vinaigrette, always dress the potatoes while they are still warm so they absorb the flavour. For a mayonnaise-based dressing, let the potatoes cool completely first.

How long does potato salad last in the fridge?

In an airtight container, a potato salad made with mayonnaise will last for 3-4 days. Vinaigrette-based salads may last slightly longer. Always store it in the fridge

Should I peel the potatoes for potato salad?

This is a personal preference. If you're using New Potatoes or Charlotte, their skins are very thin and delicious, so you can just wash them well and leave the skins on for a more rustic texture.
