Creamy potato salad is a timeless classic, perfect for family gatherings, picnics, and barbecues. This recipe combines tender potatoes, fresh scallions, and a tangy creaminess from mayonnaise and vinegar, creating a delicious side dish that can complement any main course. Follow this simple recipe to make a creamy potato salad that everyone will love.

Ingredients:

5 potatoes
1000g
1 cup scallions
50g
1/3 cup vinegar
72g
1 tsp salt
5g
1 tsp black pepper
2g
1/2 cup mayonnaise
120g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Potatoes:
- Start by peeling the potatoes. Cut them into bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
- Place the diced potatoes into a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
2. Cook the Potatoes:
- Bring the pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook the potatoes until they are tender but still firm, about 10-15 minutes. Test by piercing with a fork; they should be soft but not falling apart.
3. Drain and Cool:
- Drain the potatoes in a colander and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process.
- Let the potatoes cool completely, which should take about 15-20 minutes. You can place them in the refrigerator to speed up this process.
4. Prepare the Dressing:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the vinegar, salt, black pepper, and mayonnaise. Whisk until the ingredients are thoroughly blended and the dressing is smooth.
5. Assemble the Salad:
- Once the potatoes have cooled, gently fold them into the dressing mixture in the bowl.
- Add the finely chopped scallions to the bowl and mix everything together carefully to avoid mashing the potatoes.
6. Chill the Salad:
- Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the potato salad to a serving dish.
- Refrigerate the potato salad for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
7. Serve:
- Before serving, give the salad a gentle stir. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- Serve chilled and enjoy your creamy potato salad!

Tips:

- Choose the right potatoes: Opt for waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes, as they hold their shape better after cooking and have a creamier texture.

- Cook potatoes evenly: Cut the potatoes into uniform pieces to ensure they cook at the same rate. Boil them just until tender, and avoid overcooking to prevent them from becoming mushy.

- Chill the potatoes: Allow the boiled potatoes to cool completely before mixing with the other ingredients. This step helps the potatoes maintain their texture and prevents the salad from becoming too watery.

- Season well: Season the potatoes while they are still warm for better absorption of flavors. Adjust seasoning to taste before serving.

- Add crunch and color: Incorporate ingredients like celery, bell peppers, or pickles to add texture and color to your potato salad.

With its creamy texture and flavorful taste, this potato salad is sure to be a hit at any event. By following these tips and the recipe instructions, you can create a delicious and satisfying dish that will have everyone coming back for more. Enjoy your homemade creamy potato salad!
