to Make Potato Salad  How to Make Potato Salad  The timing of
cooking your potato is important when it comes to your potato
salad recipe. We’ll show you just the moment to cut and the
moment to cook your potato.    • share The secret to a full-
flavored potato salad is to stir the potatoes into the dressing
while they're still warm. First, cut the potatoes so they're all
about the same size. This commonsense-step ensures that each
chunk cooks at the same rate and maintains a well-defined shape.
In a good potato salad, there's no room for mushy or crunchy
spuds. When the potatoes are cooked, drain them well, but don't
rinse them with water. Then, stir them into the dressing that
you've already combined in a large bowl. The warm potatoes heat
the dressing ingredients a little and the flavors mix together
quickly. Now, just chill until you're ready to serve.
