Notes: Do not cut potatoes before boiling. The potatoes will absorb more water if you cut them. Put potatoes in cold water, bring to boil and reduce heat then. You can quarter them before boiling but leave skins on.
Biggest flavoring secret is to add the white vinegar while potatoes are still warm, which allows them to rest and absorb the vinegar's zing as potatoes cool.
If you prefer, substitute Miracle Whip with regular Mayonnaise. Or, use half Mayo and half Greek yogurt or sour cream for more tang.
Allowing potato salad to meld is important. Will stay good in frig up to 3-4 days.
