– Boil baby potatoes or diced potatoes for about 15 minutes, until fork tender.
– Boil whole large potatoes for about 30 minutes, until fork tender.

Should you peel potatoes for potato salad?

It is up to your personal preference whether or not you peel potatoes for potato salad. If you choose to leave the skin on, make sure your potatoes are washed well before cooking. I like to leave the skin on because the potato skin has more nutrients than the interior of the potato.

You can certainly prepare this potato salad recipe the day before. In my opinion, potato salad is better the next day and the day after when all the flavors have had time to blend.
