A few Red Potato Salad recipe notes:

• If needed, substitute greek yogurt for the mayonnaise in the recipe below.
• While red potatoes are best to use for this recipe, you may substitute what you have on hand. When not overcooked small red potatoes tend to hold their shape better for potato salad, plus the colorful red skins add great texture to the salad as well. Vibrant color always makes food taste better. Colorful food is flavor for the eyes. Here’s a good source showing different types of potatoes and the preferred uses of each.
• If packing along for a picnic or tailgating be sure to keep covered and chilled until ready to serve.
