Notes

  • Make sure to use the right kind of potato for the best texture. I prefer red or fingerling potatoes.
  • This delicious potato salad can be served warm or chilled; chilling it can add extra levels of flavor!
  • Kalamata olives and sliced cucumber make excellent additions for added flavor.
  • You can use bottled lemon juice, but it will impact the flavor. I highly recommend fresh lemon juice only.
  • Don't try reheating this salad- it won't turn out well. Instead, serve any leftovers chilled.
