What Types of Potatoes Make the Best Potato Salad?

The best potatoes to use in potato salad recipes can depend on what type of potato salad you’re making. For instance, waxy potatoes, like new potatoes or red potatoes are great in German potato salads where you want larger chunks of the potato to remain intact. Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes are softer and have a buttery texture. They make a wonder creamy potato salad like this recipe.

Can I Make Potato Salad Without Mayonnaise?

If you prefer not to use mayonnaise, you can make it by using a combination of Greek yogurt and sour cream. Keep in mind that mayo gives the dressing a bit of a sweet balance so substituting it will make the flavor tangier. 

This recipe is perfect for summer or a potluck because it’s such a unique spin on a classic side dish.
