Tips for making Potato salad

My tips for making tasty Potato salad.
Choose nice firm potatoes. I prefer to use kennebecs, Nicola or Bismarks.
Chop your potatoes into a large dice, allowing more surface area for flavours to develop.
Cook your potatoes in boiling salted water with fresh mint for added flavour.
Always dress your potatoes whilst still warm so they will take up the added flavours.
Again using fresh herbs to dress the salad adds flavour and colour.Wait till potatoes cool slightly before adding herbage, otherwise it will be wilted.
I like to add red onion and celery for extra colour and crunch.
Dress with enough mayonnaise to cover without drowning the salad.
Refrigerate before serving.
Can be made a day ahead.

 | I had a really nice one once, although it wasn't potato salad as I know it, the lady had mashed the potatoes, added onions,mayonnaise and topped with paprika, although this one seems really tasty shammrock, especially with the celery. I shall definitely try it out when I've got some spuds left over. |
