Restaurant Recipe for Potato Salad

Ah, yes ... Potato Salad and A Fabulous Potato Salad Recipe! An American institution for sure. Truly a real American comfort food.

What is extra special about a really good basic salad with potatoes is that it goes with so many other food items.

This restaurant recipe for potato salad has been “tested” by thousands of restaurant customers (guests) for over 20 years. They really like it. This is a very popular restaurant potato salad.

Different kinds of potatoes "behave" differently when cooked, mostly because of their starch content.

I think the best potatoes for potato salads are Yellow Finn potatoes, new potatoes, red-skinned potatoes, white round potatoes, and purple potatoes.

At the restaurant I use either red potatoes or new potatoes.
