Potato Salad

[Warpy]

8. All of the above, depending on how you make it.

I like the Idaho variety for Italian potato salad with an olive oil based dressing. Yukon gold potatoes are good with eggy dressings, something I dislike but make for other people. Red potatoes are my favorite, and the dressing is cider vinegar-sour cream-mayo and is a little weird with potatoes that have more surface starch.

You can suit yourself or just use whatever you've got on hand, I don't think there are any real rules to follow. There are as many potato salad recipes as there are cooks and while we might have preferences, we don't make the rules for anyone else.

Personally, I don't think there is a way to go far wrong with potatoes and some variety of onion, whether hot, cold, or tepid.
