GERMAN POTATO SALAD 2
Best Potato Salad Potatoes: Potato salad lovers know the secret to perfect potato salad—it starts with the potatoes! Round red or round white potatoes are best because they are a waxy variety, holding their shape after cooking. Starchy potatoes (long white), like Idaho and russets, have a fluffy texture after cooking so can become too soft and mushy for potato salad.
