The Potato Salad Everyone Loves: A Timeless Classic With a Modern Twist


 


How to Make It (Simple, Foolproof Steps)

  1. Boil the potatoes:
    Cut the potatoes into even chunks, place them in cold salted water, and bring to a boil. Cook until fork-tender—soft but still holding shape. Drain and let cool slightly.

  2. Mix the dressing:
    In a bowl, whisk together the mayo, yogurt, mustard, vinegar, and honey. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. Combine the ingredients:
    In a large bowl, gently fold the warm potatoes with the dressing. Adding the dressing while the potatoes are warm helps them absorb flavor.

  4. Add the crunch:
    Stir in the celery, onion, pickles, eggs, and herbs.

  5. Chill for flavor:
    Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. The flavors will meld and become even better.
