Notes

Store the potato salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. To keep it fresh, avoid leaving it out at room temperature for too long at gatherings. For creamier potato salad, adjust the amount of mayonnaise to your taste. Let the potatoes cool completely before mixing with the dressing to prevent them from becoming mushy.
