Walk away from that supermarket potato salad and whip up this one instead! This potato salad brings a velvety texture and smooth flavor. It’s not too strong – the perfect accompaniment to any barbecue flavor.
This potato salad is made with red potatoes and hard boiled eggs. Don’t be thrown off by the hard boiled eggs – the add a nice texture and extra element to a traditional potato salad. Many potato salads are made with russet potatoes, but I prefer the taste of red potatoes. Steaming them keeps them nice and firm, because no one wants a mushy potato salad.

You can make this salad up to a day in advance. It pairs nicely with BBQ meats or instant pot spare ribs, but potato salad also makes a nice (untraditional) side dish during Thanksgiving. I actually have a family member who makes potato salad almost every year for Thanksgiving. It really is a nice way to change things up.
