- See mom tip....
- In a large bowl, add potatoes, then pour dressing on top. Gently stir until all potatoes are covered..
- Let potato salad chill overnight in the fridge.
- Mom tip: if you find yourself making this potato salad at 10 pm because that's the only time you have alone, and the potatoes are not cooled, I like to make the dressing, but keep it separate from the warm potatoes. Place both in the fridge overnight, then mix in the morning. It will still meld and be wonderful for lunch. 😉.
