What potatoes are best for potato salad?

1) The key to making the best potato salad is to use starchy potatoes and let them get really soft, so they are partially mashed once mixed. This gives the potato salad a rustic, yet thick and luxurious quality. I like to use Yukon Gold or Klondike Goldust potatoes. You can also use Russet potatoes if you like.

How do you balance the taste of salt?

When you go a bit overboard on the salt, you have a few options for balancing:

3. Add something bland, such as potatoes, grains or bread.
4. Add something tangy or sour, like lemon juice.
