Do you leave the skins on for potato salad?
I like to boil the potatoes whole and cut them after they are cooked. You can easily remove the skins after cooking if you would like. The skin is usually tender and adds a nice color and texture to the potato salad. Peeling the potatoes is optional.
How long does potato salad last?
When refrigerated properly, potato salad should last 3- 4 days but best in the first 2 days.

This recipe sounds great. I think we could make this even better by making this a 7 ingredient tater salad. Many moons ago I learned that by doing this makes a BETTER tater salad and should be made this way anyway!! What is it? very simple......Use 2 different types of taters, New potatoes and the Russet. Try it sometime. I guarantee you will enjoy it. A dab of sweet pickle relish wouldn't hurt either.
