Notes
Do I have to peel the potatoes?Yes, it's a good idea to peel the potatoes, as the skin tends to come off when boiling the potatoes anyway. You can replace the potatoes with baby new potatoes if you prefer. If you're doing that, then you don't need to peel them.Type of potatoesI use Rooster potatoes, which are floury potatoes, as I like the fluffier edges that you get after boiling them. You can use waxy potatoes if you prefer a firm edge to your potatoes.Can I make it ahead?Yes! This potato salad needs chilling anyway, so you can make it, cover and chill the potato salad. It should keep fine, covered in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
