Frequently asked questions about potato salad.
Because the potatoes are boiled to made them edible, you want a potato that can both stand up to being boiled (not become mash) and can hold their shape when used in a salad. As a result, the best potatoes to use in a potato salad are the 'waxy' rather than 'starchy'.
Common potatoes that are used in a potato salad often include red, new, or Yukon gold potatoes. Yukon gold potatoes are an all-purpose potato that can often be used like a waxy or a starchy potato.
Because potato salad is made with mayonnaise that is made with eggs (as is this salad recipe as a whole) , there are precautions that should be taken for food safety reasons.
Potato salad should be stored in an airtight container and refrigerated for up to three days. If it is served at a picnic or similar situation, the salad should be cooled.
According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), potato salad should not be left out at room temperature for more than two hours.
Potato salad should not be frozen as freezing it can compromise the ingredients and ruin the salad.
Tips for making potato salad with eggs.
Yukon or red potatoes work best in this recipe as they tend to hold up better when cooked. I would not use a starchy potato for this recipe.
More tips for you
- When cutting up your potatoes, be sure to make the pieces bite-sized so that the salad is easy to eat. For the texture of the overall salad, I would keep the potato pieces a uniform size.
- When you remove the potatoes from the water, allow them to sit in a colander in order to drain. You may need to use a clean kitchen or paper towel to pat them dry in order to remove as much water as possible before adding them to the mixing bowl.
- Refrigerate the salad for at least an hour before serving. This will help the flavors blend together into something really flavorful.

How to make Easy Deviled Egg Potato Salad
Prep: 15 minutes
Yield: 12 servings
Step One: prepare.
Place your eggs (if they are not already hard boiled) in a large stockpot and cover them with water (about an inch over the top). Bring the stockpot to a boil over medium- high heat. Once the water begins to boil you can reduce the heat to a medium and continue to boil the ingredients until the potatoes are 'fork-tender' (eight to 12 minutes). Meanwhile, while the water is boiling, prepare a large bowl with ice water for the eggs and a colander over the sink for the potatoes. Once the potatoes are done boiling, place them into the colander to drain and then place the eggs into the ice water to cool (about 10 minutes).
Step Two: combine the ingredients.
- Once the potatoes have drained and cooled you can place them into a large mixing bowl.
- When the eggs have cooled you can peel them and then dice them up. Then add the diced eggs to the mixing bowl and give the ingredients a quick toss.
- Lastly, add the remaining ingredients, stirring as needed until you reach your desired consistency.
- Refrigerated the potato salad for at least an hour for the ingredients to set. Then sprinkle a bit of paprika on top before serving.
