Notes

To keep your Creamy Potato Salad fresh, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. Give it a good stir before serving it again as the ingredients may settle. For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of vinegar or mustard to the dressing. For a crunch, toss in some celery or pickles. You can also replace mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a healthier twist, or add sweet corn, olives, or different herbs.
