Recipe Tips
Pick the right type of potatoes. For potato salad, you want to use small potatoes with thin skin. I used red potatoes here but you can use yellow, white or fingerling potatoes.
Cut the potatoes before cooking. Make sure to cut the potatoes into quarters before boiling as this will help them hold their shape better when mixing the salad together.
Mix the dijon and vinegar before adding the oil. Mix together the dijon mustard and balsamic vinegar until it is fully emulsified before adding the oil.
Storage
This potato salad will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
Store the leftover dressing in the fridge for a few months. I like to store mine in a mason jar or another jar or bottle that can be closed tightly. Just shake the dressing to mix everything together before using.
