Instructions:

  1. Boil the potatoes in a large pot of salted water until they are tender, about 15-20 minutes. Make sure they’re not too mushy, or you’ll have potato soup instead of salad!

  5. Chill the salad in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. This helps all the flavors to come together and tastes even better!
  6. When ready to serve, give it a quick stir, sprinkle with paprika if desired, and watch it disappear!
