  • 1 tablespoon white or cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Expert Tips

  • tip 1
    For 13 grams of fat and 210 calories per serving, use reduced-fat mayonnaise and 2 eggs.
  • tip 2
    Potato salad lovers know the secret to perfect potato salad--it starts with the potatoes! Round red or round white potatoes are best because they are a waxy variety, holding their shape after cooking. Starchy potatoes (long white), like Idaho and russets, have a fluffy texture after cooking so can become too soft and mushy for potato salad.
