Best Potato Salad Recipe

Potato salad would have to one the most popular side dish along with mashed potatoes, roasted potatoes and the most incredible smashed potatoes. Give me ALLLL the carbs! Most potato salad recipes are coated in a luscious mayo dressing (like this one here, with bacon and dill pickles). This potato salad needs NO MAYO or sour cream!

Tips To Make Potato Salad

As with all potato salad recipes, potatoes are boiled in salted water first until fork tender. Drain potatoes in a colander, then rinse them under cold running water for about 30 seconds to one minute to take the steam out of them and stop the cooking process. From here, I like to spread them out on a baking sheet or tray to allow them to cool completely or until cool enough to handle and avoid them mushing through the dressing. You can also refrigerate them to cool them quicker.

While potatoes are cooling, use this time to mix up your salad dressing!

Potato Salad Dressing

What makes this red potato salad so special? ALL of those incredible fresh herbs in the dressing! Aside from olive oil, a good kick of garlic, salt and pepper, it’s the combination of herbs in the dressing make this salad just as good as mayo filled ones, if not better. The herbs we always use:

  • Thyme
  • Rosemary
  • Parsley

Feel free to substitute any of these for others you have on hand, including dill, tarragon, oregano or basil.

    Excellent recipe and has been a hit at all of the dinners & lunches we have made it for. We like to add bacon for a little more pizzazz, but the fresh, herbal flavors cant be beaten on hot, summer days!

    I made these last night and they were delicious! I used my instant pot to cook the potatoes. 4 minutes then quick release after 10 minutes. My family loved the flavors!
