The Best Potatoes for Potato Salad

To most of us, it wouldn’t seem like summer without potato salad. It’s an all time favorite at any summer picnic or barbecue.

Part of the trick to making the perfect potato salad is choosing the perfect potatoes for this particular dish. Not just any type of potato will do. Choose potatoes with a low to medium starch content; the type often called boiling potatoes or salad potatoes. Lower starch potatoes will keep their shape and not fall apart like starchier baking potatoes.

Some of the best types of potatoes for the perfect potato salad are:

Yukon gold
Yellow Finn
Red Bliss
California long whites
Main or Kennebec potatoes
Fingerlings
Heirlooms

Here’s another tip for the perfect potato salad. Try making potato salad with our Divine Dill Dip Mix. Combine the mix (according to directions on the package) with sour cream and mayonnaise. Use in place of regular mayonnaise. Since the mix includes onions, dill, and other spices, you won’t need to add anything else for a delicious and attractive potato salad. But experiment with additional spices, veggies, etc. to your own taste, if you like.
