New Red Potato Salad is the Perfect Side Dish

I

It’s time for another summertime side dish edition with this great New Red Potato Salad recipe. It is a perfect recipe to make ahead of time and have a dish ready to go.

What I love about this potato salad is how versatile it is. While it’s an excellent recipe on its own, you can also customize it with your favorite potato salad ingredients. If you are like my family, we love a little sweet kick so sweet relish is our favorite add-in. I also am a fan of paprika, so a sprinkle is a must for me. Have fun with your favorite add-ins.

I have also found that sometimes it’s hard to find specific food items these days but it’s super easy to adapt the recipe to the items you can find. Take for instance new red potatoes. I couldn’t find them, but red potatoes were readily available. The only difference between a new red potato and a red potato is the size. New red potatoes are picked earlier so the size is smaller. In this case, all you need to do is adjust the cooking time. I took the guesswork out of this problem for you.

Tips

  • If you can only find larger red potatoes, boil for 30 minutes. Use a fork to test throughout the cooking process.
  • If you are worried about the potatoes being overcooked, place cooked and cut potatoes in the fridge to stop the cooking process.
  • I love to grab already-boiled and peeled hard-boiled eggs from the deli area to save time.
