Why is my potato salad gummy?

It is due to undercooking or overcooking the potatoes. If you don’t cook them long enough, you’ll end up with firm, crunchy potatoes, which aren’t the texture you want in this meal. On the other hand, if you cook them for too long, they will get mushy.

Can you eat the skin of red potatoes?

Yes, the skin of a baked potato can be eaten. Red potatoes have a thin peel that adds a touch of texture but has no effect on the taste. When cooking, leaving the skin on the potato helps it preserve its shape. If you cut the potato into pieces and then cook it, the chunks are more likely to preserve their shape rather than turn to mush.

How long does potato salad last in the fridge?

This creamy potato salad will keep in the fridge for up to 4 days. After that, keep it covered in an airtight container in the refrigerator’s back corner. It will last longer if you take out one serving at a time rather than allowing the whole bowl to come to room temperature several times.

How to make creamy red potato salad with fresh herbs?

Now that you have gathered all of your ingredients, it is time to make this recipe. Follow the instructions below.

Mix potatoes with 2 tablespoons of water in a large microwave-safe dish. Microwave for 2-3 minutes, or until fork-tender, covered (Begin checking after 2 minutes because microwave cooking times vary). Potatoes should be soft enough to split with a fork but hard enough to stand on their own.

Then, drain the potatoes from the dish. To dry, spread out in a single layer on a big baking sheet. If necessary, gently blot with a paper towel.

Next, combine mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, shallot, mustard, and fresh herbs in a small glass bowl. Stir everything together completely. Toss the potatoes in a separate bowl with the mayonnaise mixture and toss to coat. To taste, season with salt and black pepper and mix to blend.

Remember to have more control over how much mayonnaise to put on your potato salad. Don’t pour it all in at once.

Lastly, serve right away, or cover and keep refrigerated for up to 1-2 days. Enjoy!
