Classic Potato Salad Recipe
No need to rush to the store—we’ve got the perfect potato salad recipe right here. Creamy and rich, with hints of tangy vinegar and crunchiness from fresh vegetables, this classic potato salad is hearty and perfectly delicious. Russet potatoes are the ideal here, because they break down a little and make the potato salad creamier.

Warm Asparagus, Radish, and New Potato Salad with Herb Dressing Recipe
Potato salad gets a makeover for the season with the addition of roasted asparagus and radishes. The tangy dressing can be made up to a week in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Roasted vegetables hold up better on a Easter buffet than a bowl of mixed greens—and they’re more interesting too.

Lemon Dill Potato Beet Salad Recipe
Tender cooked beets add color and sweet flavor to your usual potato salad. We recommend using golden (yellow) beets in this recipe because red beets will turn the entire dish a bright shade of pink. A tangy sour cream-yogurt dressing flavored with fresh dill and lemon brings these two root vegetables together in perfect harmony.

Charred Okra-Potato Salad Recipe
We updated a cookout classic—potato salad—with crisp, smoky grilled okra. The salad is tossed in a lemon vinaigrette with scallions and a hint of fresh thyme to let the vegetables’ natural flavors shine. This dish is best served immediately so that the okra retains some crispness.

Fingerling Potato Salad with Mustard Vinaigrette Recipe
Little fingerling potatoes are fantastic in potato salads, in part because their skin-to-flesh ratio is much smaller than big potatoes, so there's more dynamic textural difference in every bite.

Warm Potato And Pancetta Salad Recipe
Buttery, thin-skinned fingerling potatoes will cook fairly quickly in a hot oven, becoming nicely crisp outside and creamy inside. Pancetta is cured, unsmoked bacon. Look for prediced pancetta (such as Boar's Head) to save time. Serve with a simple egg and leafy green omelet or seared fish fillets.

Savory Potato Salad Recipe
Simpler and tastier than many old-fashioned potato salads, this version features a fresh lemon-and-oil-based dressing instead of a mayo-laden dressing. Try to toss the potatoes in the dressing while they’re still a bit warm—they’ll absorb more flavor that way.
