Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For extra flavor, add a tablespoon of Dijon mustard to the dressing.
- If you prefer a smoother salad, you can briefly pulse the potatoes in a food processor before adding them to the dressing.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of chili flakes to your liking. For a milder salad, omit them entirely.
- This potato salad is best served within 2 days of making it. The flavors will continue to develop, but it's best enjoyed fresh.
