The ultimate symphony of tangy flavors and creamy textures that will have your taste buds singing praises and begging for more of this Red Skin Potato Salad. My brother HATES potato salad, and he ate three helpings of this dish.
Red Skinned Potato Salad
This dish is a showstopper. I know that you’ve probably read that a thousand times on various blogs. But, I can tell you with one hundred percent honesty, this is the best potato salad I’ve ever had.
The sauce is rich and creamy without being too heavy, and its flavor is absolutely fabulous. It infuses the flavors of the potatoes, celery, and onion with just a slight tanginess.
Each bite is a joy from start to finish, from the soft and fluffy chunks of potato to the crunchy bite of red onion and celery. And, the crumbles of egg hold it all together, giving it a savory finish.
I like to sprinkle each serving liberally with paprika, but you can skip that step if you prefer. My oldest son swears by the inclusion of the hottest sauce he has, and my brother likes to stir in red pepper flakes to give it a kick.
