How To Make Red, White and Blue Potato Salad

Cook the Potatoes: Start by boiling the potatoes in a large pot of salted water until tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and let them cool slightly before cutting them into bite-sized pieces.

Make the Dressing: In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Prepare the Vegetables: Chop the hard-boiled eggs and finely dice the red onion.

Assemble the Salad: Add the cooked potatoes, chopped eggs, and red onion to the bowl with the dressing. Stir gently to coat everything evenly.

Add the Berries (Optional): Gently fold in the fresh blueberries and halved cherry tomatoes for that vibrant red, white, and blue color.

Chill & Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley or dill (optional). Refrigerate the potato salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Red, White and Blue Potato Salad Recipe Tips

🍅 Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh, ripe tomatoes and blueberries give the salad its vibrant color and delicious flavor.
🥔 Don’t Overcook the Potatoes: Be sure to cook the potatoes just until tender to maintain a firm, creamy texture.
🍯 Balance the Dressing: Taste the dressing and adjust the mayo and mustard ratio to your preference for creaminess and tanginess.
🥚 Chill Before Serving: Allow the salad to chill for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
🌿 Herb Garnish: Add fresh parsley or dill for a pop of color and a fresh flavor.

Storing

🧊 Storing: Store leftover Red, White, and Blue Potato Salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Let the salad cool to room temperature before refrigerating for best flavor.

❄️ Freezing: This potato salad is not ideal for freezing, as the texture of the potatoes and mayonnaise may change when thawed.

🔥 Reheating: For the best texture, it’s best served cold. If you prefer it warmer, gently reheat in the microwave and stir in a little extra mayo or dressing to maintain creaminess.

Red, White and Blue Potato Salad Recipe Faqs

🍅 Can I use different potatoes? Yes, you can use any type of potato you prefer, but Yukon Gold or red potatoes are recommended for their creamy texture and flavor.

🌶️ Can I adjust the spice level? This recipe is mild, but if you’d like a little heat, you can add a small amount of Dijon mustard or a dash of cayenne pepper to the dressing.

🍳 Can I make this ahead of time? Absolutely! This potato salad can be made up to 1 day in advance and stored in the refrigerator. The flavors will meld together even better after sitting.

🍓 Can I substitute other fruits for the blueberries and tomatoes? For a twist, try using strawberries or raspberries for the red, or even grapes for a sweeter version. Just make sure the fruits are fresh!

🥔 Should I peel the potatoes? Peeling the potatoes is optional. Leaving the skins on adds texture and extra nutrients, but you can peel them if you prefer a smoother salad.
