Red Potato Salad

Red Potato Salad

Everyday

Red potato salad is a classic cold dish featuring waxy red potatoes that retain their shape when cooked, typically prepared with the skin on for added texture and nutrients. The salad's creamy yet firm consistency comes from the potatoes' lower starch content compared to russet varieties, while common preparations mix them with mayonnaise or vinegar-based dressings, celery, and fresh herbs. This popular side dish offers a balance of earthy flavors and tangy accents, though calorie content varies significantly based on dressing choices.
