# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It gets better after sitting in the fridge, making it perfect for meal prep or making ahead for gatherings
  • The mustard and vinegar cut through the rich mayonnaise so every bite feels light and satisfying
02 -
  • Hot potatoes will make the dressing separate and turn oily, so patience during cooling is absolutely essential
  • The salad tastes best after sitting for several hours, so make it in the morning for dinner or the night before for a picnic
03 -
  • Taste the potato salad after an hour of chilling and adjust the salt or vinegar before serving
  • If making ahead, hold back some of the dressing and stir it in right before serving to refresh the salad
