  • 2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
  • A small handful of fresh herbs (parsley, dill, or chives work great)
  • Optional: chopped pickles, a splash of pickle brine, or even a spoonful of horseradish for some kick

    • Mix everything together gently and let it chill for at least an hour (overnight is even better).

    Final Tip: Balance is Everything

    The most flavorful potato salads are all about contrast—creamy and tangy, soft and crunchy, rich and bright. Don’t be afraid to adjust as you go. Add a squeeze of lemon or a spoon of mustard if it feels flat. Season to taste right before serving.

    In Summary:

    • Season potatoes while warm so they absorb maximum flavor.
    • Use waxy potatoes for the best texture.
    • Balance your ingredients for that perfect creamy-crunchy-tangy bite.

    Once you try this trick, you’ll never go back to bland potato salad again. People will ask for your recipe. They’ll take seconds. Some may even eat it straight from the fridge with a spoon (guilty as charged).
