A traditional and easy potato salad which doesn't need any fancy ingredients; just a few simple ingredients!
This potato salad will be your favourite lunch, whether at home or outside, as it's easy to make, and you can add to it whatever you have in the fridge.
Best Potato Salad Dressing
- Mayonnaise and sour cream. Because This is a creamy potato salad, I use both mayonnaise and sour cream, the combination of both is incredibly delicious. Sour cream is like a star in this recipe; it makes the mayonnaise much lighter and tastier; I don't recommend removing or replacing it.
- Onion and garlic. Both onion and garlic give a wonderful flavour and crunchiness to this recipe.
- Olive oil. I use it in this recipe for extra delicious flavour (i use extra virgin olive oil).

How To Cook The Potatoes For The Potato Salad?
You can cook the potatoes as a whole without chopping or removing the peel or after you peel and chop them(which I prefer). I found cooking the potatoes as a whole is a bit messy and hard so I prefer to peel, chop then cook it.
How Do I Know If My Potatoes Are Cooked?
Potatoes will be cooked when you manage to push a fork easily into the centre of a potato chunk.
Tips
- Adding salt to the water while cooking the potatoes gives it an excellent taste, and don't worry about making it too salty; it lightly seasons the potatoes.
- You can eat this salad hot or cold (as you prefer).
