Tips:
- For best results, use waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes, as they hold their shape well when cooked.
- Ensure the potatoes are cooked just until tender to avoid them becoming too mushy.
- Cut the prosciutto into thin strips for even distribution throughout the salad.
- Mix the dressing ingredients well to ensure the honey and mustard are fully incorporated.
- Serve the salad warm for the best flavor experience, but it can also be enjoyed at room temperature.
