Our family likes the potatoes grated. A little more time than cutting in chunks, but it is tasty. So I cook my potatoes until they're tender all the way through, let them cool and then grate them. I'll probably make some this week for a picnic at the lake.

When I go through a potluck - I try to take a tiny bit of each potato salad available. I am always surprised at the variations!

In my house, Russets are for mashing only.

Mom added a good amount of real cream to her dressing and made it really runny. That's how Dad liked it. It looked like it had gone bad or something, but it really tasted good. Miss her (and her potato salad no matter how she made it !)
