For a potato salad, go with red potatoes! They have a waxy texture that holds up well when mixed, giving you nice, firm pieces. Plus, their flavor is mild and delicious, making them perfect for a salad.

Red potatoes are your potato salad champs! They hold their shape better than russets, which can get mushy. Trust me, nobody wants mushy potato salad!

Hey! For potato salad, red potatoes are usually better because they hold their shape well and have a creamy texture. Russets can be a bit too starchy and tend to fall apart. Enjoy your salad!
