Potato Salad Tips & Tricks: From Classic to Creative

Potato Salad Recipes FAQ

Which potatoes are best for potato salad?

Waxy potatoes are essential. Varieties like Kipfler, Dutch Cream, or other small salad potatoes work best because they hold their shape and have a firm, creamy texture.

Why is my potato salad watery?

This usually happens when you've used a starchy potato, such as a Russet, which breaks down more easily, or if the potatoes have been overcooked.

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, dress the potatoes while they are still warm so they absorb more 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, potato salad made with mayonnaise will keep for 3–4 days. Vinaigrette-based salads may keep slightly longer. Always store it in the fridge.

Should I peel the potatoes for potato salad?

It’s personal preference. If you're using thin-skinned potatoes, such as Kipflers or Dutch Creams, you can simply wash them and leave the skins on for a more rustic texture.
