Classic Red Potato Salad
Classic potato salad is a favourite in Canada almost any time of the year. The team here at Produce Made Simple all agree that potato salad is synonymous with fun gatherings; either summer BBQs or winter celebrations but we couldn’t quite agree on what recipe constitutes the “classic” potato salad.
Seeing as we couldn’t make up our minds, here are two of our favourite versions!
Red potatoes are a wonderful choice for potato salads because they hold their shape so well when cooked. We prefer to keep the skin on too, for added colour and interest. This recipe has a slight tang, due to the addition of mustard, and the crunch comes from fresh celery.
