Equipment

Notes

  • Dice the potatoes small for even texture and better distribution of flavor.
  • Start potatoes in cold, salted water for even cooking.
  • Boil gently to avoid breaking the potatoes apart.
  • Let potatoes cool completely and drain well on paper towels to avoid a watery salad.
  • Place minced celery and onion on paper towels to reduce excess moisture.
  • Adjust the amount of Miracle Whip and sour cream to your preferred creaminess.
  • Chill the salad for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to develop.
  • Taste and adjust salt at the end, as some ingredients (like relish or Miracle Whip), already contain salt.
