But let me tell you why I think my mom\u2019s recipe is <em>the best<\/em> for a classic American <a href=\"https:\/\/downshiftology.com\/summer-salads\/\">summer salad<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>First, it\u2019s not mushy. <\/strong>I\u2019ve come across many potato salads that resemble mashed potatoes. But that\u2019s a little too soft for my liking. Potato salads should have texture, crunch, and a chunky consistency.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Second, it\u2019s not watery. <\/strong>It\u2019s creamy without being soupy. And that\u2019s because there\u2019s just the right amount of dressing for the type of potatoes used.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lastly, it\u2019s not a bowl of monochromatic beige and yellow.<\/strong> This potato salad is a delicious combination of red potatoes, <a href=\"https:\/\/downshiftology.com\/recipes\/hard-boiled-eggs\/\">hard-boiled eggs<\/a>, celery, radishes, spring onions, dill, and mayonnaise \u2014 loads of color and tons of fabulous flavor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-potato-salad-ingredients\"><strong>Potato Salad Ingredients<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" data-pin-description=\"This classic potato salad recipe with eggs and red potatoes is easy, flavorful, and loaded with texture.

I\u2019m using red potatoes because I love the reddish color that comes through in the mixture. Plus, they\u2019re creamy, lower in starch, hold together well after cooking, and the skin is so soft that you don\u2019t have to peel them.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Eggs: <\/strong>Hard-boiled eggs add protein to this salad, making it a more filling side dish.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Crisp Vegetables:<\/strong> Celery, spring onions, and radishes add a fresh crispiness with every bite.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mayonnaise: <\/strong>I love my <a href=\"https:\/\/downshiftology.com\/recipes\/how-to-make-homemade-mayonnaise\/\">homemade mayonnaise<\/a> recipe, but you can use a store-bought version as well.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fresh Herbs:<\/strong> A bit of freshly chopped dill is all you need for an herbaceous touch.

It\u2019s easy to slice through the potatoes this way, and I feel they\u2019re slightly less waterlogged and mushy.
