Restaurant Potato Salad Recipe ...A Great American Tradition
There are entire cookbooks dedicated to potato salad.
What is "extra special" about a really good basic potato salad is
that it "goes" with so many other food items.
This potato salad recipe has been “tested” by thousands of my
restaurant customers (guests) for over 20 years. They really like it.
Different kinds of potatoes "behave" differently when cooked
mostly because of their starch content. I think the best potatoes for
potato salads are Yukon Gold, Yellow Finn, new potatoes, red-
skinned potatoes, white round potatoes, and purple potatoes.
At my restaurant I use either red potatoes or new potatoes or Yukon Gold.
